Archive retired benchmark channels
Close completed evaluation threads so active work stays easier to scan.
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
Old benchmark channels remain visible and compete with current decision spaces.
- Reduce workspace clutter
- Preserve historical messages
- Close completed work cleanly

- 2Create an automation describing the completion signal and channel to archive.
- 3Choose a webhook as the trigger.
- 4Select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one completed benchmark stream before archiving.
Questions about this workflow
Are messages deleted?
