Approved Dashboard Retirement with Snapshot Archive to S3

Triggered when a reviewer approves a retirement in Coda, it snapshots the dashboard definition to S3 cold storage, archives it in Snowflake metadata, and confirms back in Slack.

What it does

When a reviewer flips a dashboard to Approved-for-Retirement in Coda, this workflow safely decommissions it: it preserves a snapshot of the dashboard definition in S3, marks the asset archived in Snowflake, and posts a confirmation to the team channel.

When to use it

Run this as the action half of a decay program. The sweep finds candidates; this executes the retirement only after a human approves, with a recoverable archive so nothing is lost permanently.

How it works

  1. 1A Coda automation webhook fires when a row's status becomes Approved.
  2. 2A guard confirms the row is genuinely Approved and not already archived.
  3. 3The dashboard's definition and last-known metadata are written as a timestamped object to an S3 archive bucket.
  4. 4Snowflake's dashboard registry row is updated to status Archived with the S3 location and retirement date.
  5. 5Slack posts a confirmation to the data-ops channel naming the dashboard, who approved it, and the restore path.
