Archive inactive evaluation conversations
Keep active benchmark work visible while preserving completed discussions.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Inactive conversations create visual noise and make current evaluation work harder to find.
- Keep active work prominent
- Retain historical context
- Reduce channel maintenance

Questions about this workflow
Does archiving remove the conversation?
No. It archives the conversation and retains its history.
Can direct messages be archived?
