Archive Channel

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

If your workspace has a large number of channels, this card may exceed the 60 second time limit while trying to populate the Channel dropdown list. 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)

This field shows a maximum of 200 public channels and 200 private channels. Even if the number of public or private channels is fewer than 200, API limitations may prevent some channels from appearing in the Channel dropdown list.

The dropdown displays only unarchived channels where the user who created the Slack connection is a member. To specify an unlisted public or private channel, select the Enter Channel ID option and enter the Channel ID.

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

Result of the operation. The connector returns an HTTP status code that indicates whether the action taken by the card succeeded or failed. For example:

  • A 201 Created status code indicates success where a new resource was created.
  • A 403 Forbidden error indicates that the HTTP request wasn't processed because the necessary permissions were missing.

For a full list of possible status codes, see HTTP status codes.
