Close a completed Bolna follow up DM
Clear finished handoffs from your sidebar when the work is done.
Trigger
Webhook received

Action
Close conversation channel
Closes a slack direct message (dm) or multi-person direct message (mpdm) channel, removing it from the user's sidebar without deleting history; this action affects only the calling user's view.
Why this helps
Completed direct message threads stay visible and compete with active work.
- Reduce sidebar clutter
- Mark handoffs as finished
- Keep active work easier to scan

- 2Create a new automation and name it.
- 3Tell Notis how to recognize completion and which Slack direct message to close.
