What it does

Handles the false-positive case in decay audits. When a dashboard that was already flagged for retirement suddenly gets opened, this catches the live view event, clears its retirement flag, and tells the team so nobody deletes a report that just proved it's still needed.

When to use it

Run this alongside a scheduled decay audit to avoid retiring dashboards that have rare-but-real seasonal or quarterly use. Essential when usage is bursty and a 60-day cold streak doesn't actually mean dead.

How it works

  1. 1A webhook trigger receives a real-time view event from your BI tool's event stream.
  2. 2A logic step checks whether that dashboard_id is currently in the flagged-for-retirement set.
  3. 3If it isn't flagged, the flow exits quietly.
  4. 4If it is, an action clears the retirement flag and stamps a revived-at timestamp in the tracking store.
  5. 5A Slack message alerts the data team that the dashboard was revived, with who viewed it and when, so the audit shortlist stays honest.
