This Method archives a conversation. Not all types of conversations can be archived.
 
⚠️ Notes:
● Only public and private channels (is_channel: true) can be archived — DMs and group DMs cannot.
● You must have the proper permissions to archive a channel:
● For user tokens: the user must be a member and have archiving rights
● For bot tokens: the bot must be a member of the channel
● You need the scope: channels:manage (for public channels) or groups:write (for private channels)
 
● The channel becomes read-only
● It’s removed from the channel list for most users
● It can be unarchived later if needed.

After setting up your Flow, you can choose to:

  • “Run once”, your Flow will run only a single time. You can use this function to test your Flow. Refer to how to set up an HTTP Trigger, in the “Create a Flow” step.
  • “Run Scheduler” will automate your Flows with the recurrence rule you previously defined.


For more details, refer to How to run a Flow tutorial in our Help Center.
 
If you are using a Webhook Trigger, the Flow will initiate automatically when a webhook is received from your connected apps. This means that the Flow is automated without a scheduler and will run until you deactivate the Flow manually. Refer to Webhook documentation in our Help Center.
