Archive Channel

Archive a Slack channel and remove it from the list of active conversations. For more information, see Slack Help.

Note

This card may timeout while trying to populate the Channel dropdown. This can occur when your workspace has a large number of channels that can't be retrieved within a 60 second time limit. This timeout can also occur when testing a card.

Options

Field Definition Type Required
Channel List of channels you can archive (channel names are 20 lowercase characters or less and do not contain spaces or periods)
Caution

A maximum of 200 public channels and 200 private channels are displayed. Even if the number of public (or private) channels don't exceed 200, API limitations may prevent some channels from being listed in the Channel dropdown.

The dropdown will display only those unarchived channels of which the user who created the Slack connection is a member. To specify a public or private channel that is not listed, select the Enter Channel ID option and populate the Channel ID input field.

If a failure occurs and no channels are listed in the dropdown, then only the Enter Channel ID option will be displayed.

  • A 403 Forbidden error indicates that the HTTP request wasn't processed because the necessary permissions were missing.
