Archive concluded Slack conversations with browser evidence
Turn a clear status change on the web into a tidy Slack sidebar while preserving conversation history.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Archive a Slack conversation
Archives a slack conversation by its id, rendering it read-only and hidden while retaining history, ideal for cleaning up inactive channels; be aware that some channels (like #general or certain dms) cannot be archived and this may impact connected integrations.
Why this helps
Concluded work can keep occupying attention in the Slack sidebar long after its status changes elsewhere.
- Clear concluded conversations from the active workspace view.
- Retain the conversation history in Slack.
- Tie the archive decision to an explicit browser-checked status.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Anchor browser and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or open Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis which source to check, what status confirms closure, and which Slack conversation to archive when that status is present.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one concluded conversation and verify the conversation ID.
Questions about this workflow
Does archiving delete the conversation?
No. Archiving makes the conversation read-only and hides it while retaining its history.
How should Notis identify the conversation?
Provide a Slack conversation ID or make a reliable identifier available to the task.
Can this act on any conversation?
It can only archive conversations the connected Slack account can access and that Slack permits to be archived.
