Archive stale transaction conversations
Reduce visual clutter from transaction conversations that no longer need active attention.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Old transaction discussions stay visible long after the related activity has ended.
- Reduce sidebar clutter
- Make active work easier to scan
- Retain historical context

- 1Connect Blocknative and Slack in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Stale Transaction Conversation.
- 3Tell Notis to archive the matching Slack conversation after the supplied inactivity and status criteria are met.
