Close out obsolete Crowdin branches after release
Once a branch is confirmed merged and no longer needed, let Notis carry that cleanup decision from Slack to Crowdin.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Delete Branch
Tool to delete a specific branch from a crowdin project. use when you need to remove an obsolete branch after it's fully merged.
Why this helps
Finished branches can linger because cleanup is easy to forget after the team moves on to the next release.
- Keeps the Crowdin branch list easier to navigate.
- Links cleanup to an explicit team confirmation.
- Reduces lingering branches that add noise to future work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Crowdin to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to clean up confirmed obsolete branches.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to delete a branch only when Slack confirms it is merged, no longer needed, and identifies the branch and project.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real cleanup confirmation and verify the intended branch was removed.
Questions about this workflow
What confirmation should qualify?
Use an explicit Slack message that confirms the branch is merged and no longer needed, and identifies the exact project and branch.
Can it delete a branch after any merge mention?
The instruction should require a clear retirement confirmation; a merge mention alone is not enough.
