Notis

Archive a stale market discussion channel

Clear finished market work without losing its history.

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

Old event channels remain visible and add clutter long after decisions are complete.

  • Reduce workspace clutter
  • Keep completed work read-only
  • Make active channels easier to find

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Benzinga and Slack in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation defining the inactivity and completion criteria.
  • 3Choose a recurring cron schedule.
  • 4Select the Slack report channel for archive results.
  • 5Test with a channel that is safe to review.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis avoid protected channels?

Yes. Exclude channels such as general or any channel your team must keep active.

Is channel history deleted?

No. Archiving makes the channel read-only while retaining its history.
