Anyone know a way to archive slack channels to Gmail? I use Slack for work, which we pay for, but I have a little private one just for some friends I grew up with. I’m looking for a way to just archive all of that communication to a gmail account just for time capsule purposes.

  • slack-archive

    "Off-site" Slack messaging archive (by mihaip)

  • slack-cleaner

    delete slack messages and files. An improved version is at:

  • You can write a little script leveraging https://github.com/sgratzl/slack-cleaner and use it “search” for the messages you want to archive. The easiest way is to go channel by channel and then dm by dm.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • PHPMailer

    The classic email sending library for PHP

  • You would then need to setup a function to loop over to use json objects and “email them” you could actually use the same inbox(email address) you are storing the data in to send the data to that mailbox. Using SMTP you could use a lib like https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer to accomplish that piece.
