What it does

Adds a human gate to artifact cleanup. Each week it computes which Dropbox artifacts are safe to delete under your retention rules, uses an LLM to draft a plain-English rationale (what's going, why it's safe, what stays restorable), and posts the proposal to Slack. Deletion runs only after an approver clicks approve; a reject cancels the run and logs the decision.

When to use it

Use it when artifact storage matters but your team isn't comfortable with fully automated deletion. It gives you the convenience of an automated proposal with the safety of explicit human approval on every prune.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule fires the run.
  2. 2List Dropbox artifacts and apply retention rules to compute a candidate deletion set, preserving the latest release per channel.
  3. 3Ask OpenAI to write a concise rationale summarizing the proposal and confirming restorability is intact.
  4. 4Post the proposal to Slack with approve/reject controls and wait for a decision.
  5. 5Branch: on approve, delete the candidate set from Dropbox; on reject, cancel and log.
  6. 6Post the final outcome and reclaimed space back to the Slack thread.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect DropboxFiles and folders.
  2. 2
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  3. 3
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
