Archive Slack channels from Discord reactions
A Discord thread gets a checkmark reaction—the discussion is done. Notis immediately archives the corresponding Slack channel, freeing you from manual cleanup and keeping your workspace lean and focused.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction (emoji) is added to a message in a monitored Discord channel.
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
Dead projects clutter your Slack workspace; archiving them manually is tedious, and the workspace becomes harder to navigate as it grows.
- Keep Slack workspace clean and organized automatically
- Signal project completion across platforms
- Reduce cognitive load from navigating cluttered workspaces
- Build automated cleanup workflows

- 2Create a new automation with the prompt: 'When a Discord message gets a checkmark reaction, archive the corresponding Slack channel'
- 3Choose the trigger: Message Reaction Added from your Discord channel
- 4Select the Slack reporting channel
- 5Test by adding a checkmark reaction to a Discord message and verify the Slack channel is archived
Questions about this workflow
Which emoji reactions trigger archival?
You specify in your prompt. Common ones are ✅ or 🎉, but you can use any emoji.
What if there's no corresponding Slack channel?
Notis skips the action gracefully. Your prompt can also handle this: 'notify me if no channel exists'.
Can I unarchive channels if the reaction is removed?
Yes. You can create a companion workflow that unarchives when the reaction is deleted.
