Archive Slack channels for retired Bika projects
Close completed project spaces cleanly while preserving their 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
Finished project channels remain active and compete with current work for attention.
- Keep active work prominent
- Preserve completed project history
- Reduce channel maintenance
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bika.ai and Slack in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation and define the Bika status that confirms a project is retired.
- 3Tell Notis to archive the linked Slack channel only after the retirement condition is confirmed.
- 4Choose notis_cron, select a report channel, and test with one retired project.
Questions about this workflow
Can this archive private channels?
