Close out Slack channels when projects finish
When a Baserow project is marked complete, Notis can archive its referenced Slack channel and leave the conversation history available.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Archive a public or private channel
Archives a slack public or private channel, making it read-only; the primary 'general' channel cannot be archived.
Why this helps
Finished project channels remain active and clutter the workspace long after the work ends.
- Tie channel cleanup to a project completion signal.
- Make archived channels read-only while retaining their history.
- Reduce manual closeout work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Baserow and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and enter a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to find completed projects and archive only the Slack channel referenced by each eligible record.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real completed project and verify its channel reference.
Questions about this workflow
What information does this need?
The Baserow record must indicate completion and identify the Slack channel to archive.
Can an archived channel still be read?
The listed action archives the channel, making it read-only and hidden while retaining its history. Some channels cannot be archived.
