That sounds like you want a very specific set of things to happen. It is
unlikely that that exact set of things is already in a dedicated module.

I suspect that you will find it easiest to start by using one of the
embedded-language modules and writing your logic in that language -- lua,
perl, and a version of javascript are available; probably more are too.

(If there are specific things that you need, such as issuing a http
DELETE to another url, you will want to confirm that the facility to do
that is available in the language that you choose to use.)

Good luck with it,
