Slack Cleaner

by



It works for me (free version), but it's painfully slow. However, slow is better than the 'not at all' option offered by slack themselves, so thank you for this extension. We used it to clean out the #general channel (which my group used as the main chat channel. I know, bad choice) to add another team in on the server.

Usage

Slack Cleaner

Configuring app

The cleaner needs you to give Slack's API permission to let it run theoperations it needs. You grant these by registering it as an app in theworkspace you want to use it in.

You can grant these permissions to the app by:

  1. going to Your Apps
  2. select 'Create New App', fill out an App Name (eg 'Slack Cleaner') andselect the Slack workspace you want to use it in
  3. select 'OAuth & Permissions' in the sidebar
  4. scroll down to Scopes and select all scopes you need
  5. select 'Save changes'
  6. select 'Install App to Workspace'
  7. review the permissions and press 'Authorize'
  8. copy the 'OAuth Access Token' shown, and use this token as the --tokenargument to the script

Tips

Slack-cleaner Missing Scope

After the task, a backup file slack-cleaner.<timestamp>.log will be created in current directory if --log is supplied.

If any API problem occurred, try --rate=<delay-in-seconds> to reduce the API call rate (which by default is unlimited).

Slack-cleaner Failed To Delete Invalid Arguments
