Notis

Archive Slack channels for retired tests

Close the loop on completed testing work and reduce channel clutter.

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 testing channels remain active and make current work harder to find.

  • Reduce channel clutter
  • Preserve history read-only
  • Make active work easier to find

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Blazemeter and Slack in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation for formally retired test initiatives.
  • 3Tell Notis to archive the matching Slack channel only after retirement is confirmed.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger, select a report channel, and test with one retired initiative payload.

Questions about this workflow

Does archiving delete messages?

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

Can it archive a channel by name?

Ask Notis to find the matching channel from the identifiers available in the payload.
