Slack-backend

Backup Slack channel messages and save as json.

How to use

1. install an app to your workspace and get the token
2. give the app enough OAuth scope (see https://api.slack.com)

• channels:join: required by conversations.join

3. invite the app to all channels (/invite @yourappname)
4. use the cli of this program

Examples

yarn cli -t xoxb-1316038385333-1913162831956-h26hXK6WJ7g3UuXuTF2GVIqp -s

Explanation: You may use the cli directly by node cli.js or use npm npm run cli .... -t means token for the app, -s means start. Then the program will start to get data and save them to the data folder

TODOS

• write cli program
• install the app by admin
• fix message ts issue (how to calculate)
• pagination and timed backup for data
• filter data for frontend

Usage

When creating a slack app, those scopes are needed: channels:join and all history scope.
