Archive Slack Channel When New Members Join Telegram
When new team members join your Telegram group, Notis archives old Slack channels related to onboarding so the workspace stays clean.
Trigger
New Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
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
Slack channels accumulate without cleanup. Old onboarding channels stay active even after new team members have settled in, creating noise and confusion.
- Automatic cleanup reduces workspace clutter
- New member joins trigger focused channel archive
- Team stays focused on active conversations
- Reduces need for manual channel management
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with trigger 'New Chat Member' in your Telegram group.
- 3Write the prompt: 'When a new member joins, archive the onboarding-complete Slack channel to reduce clutter'.
- 4Test by adding a member to Telegram and verify the Slack channel is archived.
Questions about this workflow
What if I need to reference the archived channel later?
Archived channels are still accessible in Slack; they're just hidden from the sidebar. You can search and unarchive them anytime.
Can I archive multiple channels?
Yes. Your automation can archive several channels at once based on patterns you define.
How do I prevent accidental archives?
Specify exclusions in your prompt: 'Never archive #general or #announcements'.
