Archive a project channel from a closeout request
Send a closeout request to Notis, check the referenced Baserow project, and archive its Slack channel when the record confirms completion.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Project closeout requires hopping between a status table and Slack to find and archive the right channel.
- Start channel closeout from a single request.
- Check project completion before archiving.
- Use the channel reference maintained with the project record.
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 inspect the identified Baserow project and archive its Slack channel only when it is marked complete.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real closeout request for a completed project.
Questions about this workflow
What should the request identify?
It should identify the Baserow project record, which must provide the completion status and Slack channel reference.
What happens to channel history?
Archiving makes a channel read-only and hides it while retaining its history. The action can fail for channels that Slack does not allow to be archived.
