Account deletion never removed a user's Tinybird data:

  • It only tried to delete AI usage rows, and in production that request fails with 403 token needs scope DATASOURCES:CREATE because TINYBIRD_TOKEN is append-only.
  • Per-mailbox rows (email_action, plus the older email / last_and_oldest_emails_mv datasources) were never deleted at all.

Changes:

  • @inboxzero/tinybird deleteTinybirdEmailData(emails) deletes every per-mailbox datasource, plus aiCall rows whose userId fell back to the email address, using a new TINYBIRD_DELETE_TOKEN (the ingest token is append-only). If Tinybird is enabled but that token is missing it throws, so the failure is logged. AI usage rows keyed by user id are kept for cost reporting (no email in them). Deletes run one at a time with retry on 429 (Tinybird runs one delete job at a time); a missing datasource (404) is skipped; values are quoted and escaped.
  • Called (after the response) on full account deletion and when a single email account is removed. Replaces the old AI-usage delete in tinybird-ai-analytics (which never succeeded).
  • scripts/purge-orphaned-tinybird-data.ts: one-off purge of email-keyed rows whose mailbox no longer exists. Dry run by default, prints counts only; --apply deletes.

Before merging: set TINYBIRD_DELETE_TOKEN in production to the workspace token with DATASOURCES:CREATE on all data sources. Then run the purge script (dry run first) with a token that can also read the datasources.

Validation: new @inboxzero/tinybird delete tests (5), user and email-account deletion tests (26), non-test type check clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Data Management
    • Tinybird analytics data is cleaned up when an email account or user is deleted. Cleanup runs after deletion completes, so a cleanup failure does not interrupt the deletion process.
    • You can check for orphaned analytics records without deleting them, then apply cleanup when ready.
    • Cleanup covers records associated with users, email accounts, and email addresses across supported analytics data sources.

Account deletion only tried to delete AI usage rows, and that request was
rejected because the ingest token cannot delete. Deletion now uses a
dedicated delete token and removes AI usage rows plus every per-mailbox
datasource, both when a user is deleted and when one email account is
removed. Adds a script to purge rows left by earlier deletions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Tinybird package now deletes AI-call and mailbox rows using user IDs, email-account IDs, and email addresses. User and email-account deletion flows invoke this cleanup. A new script compares Tinybird data with database records and reports orphan counts or deletes them with --apply.

Changes

Tinybird data cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tinybird deletion API and package tests
packages/tinybird/src/delete.ts, packages/tinybird/src/delete.test.ts, packages/tinybird/package.json, packages/tinybird-ai-analytics/src/delete.ts, packages/tinybird-ai-analytics/src/index.ts
The Tinybird package deletes AI-call rows by user or account ID, and email-datasource rows by email. It escapes filter values, treats successful responses and 404s as complete, and retries 429 responses. Tests cover requests and token behavior. The package adds a test command and Vitest; the former analytics-package deletion export is removed.
Account deletion hooks
apps/web/utils/user/delete.ts, apps/web/utils/user/delete.test.ts, apps/web/utils/actions/user.ts, apps/web/utils/actions/user.test.ts
Email-account deletion schedules Tinybird cleanup with the account ID and email. User deletion schedules cleanup with the user ID and account emails. Both flows log and capture cleanup errors. Tests check cleanup calls and verify that failed user deletion does not call Tinybird.
Orphaned data purge script
apps/web/scripts/purge-orphaned-tinybird-data.ts
The script compares Tinybird mailbox emails and AI-call user IDs with database records. It reports orphan counts without deleting by default. With --apply, it submits deletions in batches of 100.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 63b1f

The purge script may leave some orphaned Tinybird AI-call data behind after a mailbox is removed. Deletion on account removal is unaffected. Confirm or address this gap before merging, or accept it explicitly.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Include deleted mailbox IDs in the aiCall orphan scan.

When an email account is deleted but its user remains, its aiCall rows can have a live userId and an orphaned emailAccountId. This scan marks only orphaned user IDs, so --apply leaves those rows behind. Query distinct emailAccountId values, compare them with live email-account IDs, and pass orphaned IDs to deleteTinybirdData({ emailAccountIds }). The deletion API already supports that filter.

AI usage rows are keyed by user id and needed for cost reporting, so
account deletion now keeps them and only deletes rows that identify a
mailbox by its address, including usage rows that fell back to the email.
