So I wrote a script that ties everything together and outputs nice Slack-looking HTML files of your entire JSON export. Point is, it’s a big maze of files and data. All channel names are also replaced by channel ids, which can be found in channels.json. They’re in a different file called users.json. ZIP file full of JSON files.Įverything IS in fact in there, but it’s pretty hard to read.Īlso all usernames are replaced by user ids, and there’s no user images to be found in the chat logs. Slackbot will send you a message when it’s ready with a download link: You can access it at and then click Export Data. Awesome! Slack had this for ages, I just never saw it myself. So Slack actually had an export function, which free users can use too. It’d be fun to read the archive sometimes though. So we’ve just accepted it as being there. It’d cost about 4,000 * $15/m or $720,000/y to pay for, which I can’t afford. Since it’s 4,000 people, we’ve always had issues with the 10,000 message limit for free Slack accounts. And it’s been going for almost a year now (actually, exactly 6 days and it will be one year, wow!). My chat community on Slack for digital nomads, called #nomads, has almost 4,000 members now.
