Slack Advanced Exporter
The Slack Advanced Exporter is a tool for supplementing official data exports from Slack with the
other bits and pieces that these don't include.
Current Features
This tool can supplement an official Slack team export by adding the following to it:
Installation
Release binaries can be downloaded from release tags on Github
here.
Usage
First, run a full export of your Slack team, and have the produced zip file handy.
Add all the File Attachments to your export.
To fetch all the file attachments referenced in your Slack team export andd add them to the archive,
use this command:
./slack-advanced-exporter --input-archive your-slack-team-export.zip --output-archive export-with-attachments.zip fetch-attachments
Problems
If you encounter a bug in this tool, please file a bug report on its Github issue tracker.
Development Plans
I'm interested in adding features to this application to export anything else that it is possible to
export but which isn't included in the existing Slack export archives. PRs and Issues welcome.
Contributing
Pull requests are welcome. Please ensure that you comply with the requirements below:
- Only data that is not included in the official team export feature should be exported by this
tool - if it's already in the official export, there's no need for it here.
- Ensure you only request what is needed, to avoid unnecessary load being placed on servers.
