12 commentsAfter trying some other tools/scripts to export/archive Slack, I was amazed how well Slackdump worked.
This is fine, or you have installed something bad and are about to give it your Slack credentials, and it's definitely not fine.
If you want to to this on an organization you need to impersonate every account from your domain(s).
I just want to save a list of all my channels, and the categories I’ve put them in.
Anyone know a way to do that, using either just Slack itself, or some specific tool that is only about managing followed channels and the categories you’ve grouped them into?
We have a free Slack server with 3k members, and buying some better license that’d let us export old messages is like $25k
