Archive an Inactive Lead Channel
Close finished lead workspaces so active conversations stay easier to navigate.
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
Completed prospect channels remain open and add noise to an already busy Slack sidebar.
- Reduce channel clutter
- Preserve history read only
- Keep active work easier to find
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bettercontact and Slack in Notis.
- 2Create a scheduled channel cleanup automation.
- 3Tell Notis to identify lead conversations whose Bettercontact work is complete and archive only those channels after reporting them.
- 4Pick a recurring Notis schedule.
- 5Choose the report channel and test with one completed conversation.
