Use this flow when you want to archive an existing KIMP360 task without leaving Slack. The /archive_task command opens a modal where you:
  • Search for a task that is eligible to be archived
  • Confirm that you really want to archive it

​
Prerequisites

  • The task you want to archive is in a status that allows archiving ( you can not archive tasks that are in Requests, in Progress, or in Review )

​
How to archive a task from Slack

1

Run the /archive_task command

Go to a channel where the KIMP360 Slack app is installed and type /archive_task, then press Enter.
2

Select a task to archive

A modal titled Archive Task opens.
  • In the Task to archive field, start typing the name or status of the task.
  • The dropdown uses an external search powered by your KIMP360 account and only shows tasks that are currently eligible for archiving.
If you do not select a task, you will see an error telling you to pick one before continuing.Select task to archive
3

Confirm the archive action

To avoid accidental changes, the modal includes a confirmation checkbox.
  • Check Yes, archive this task to confirm you really want to archive the selected task.
  • If you try to submit without checking this box, the modal will show a validation error. Confirm archive
4

Submit and wait for completion

Click Archive.
  • The modal briefly shows a status like “Archiving the selected task, please wait…” while KIMP360 processes the request.
  • If the archive is successful, the modal updates to confirm that the task was archived.
  • A confirmation message is also posted in the channel so your team can see that the task has been archived.
  • If something goes wrong (for example, API issues or permission problems), you will see an error message in the modal and an ephemeral message explaining that the archive failed.
