To migrate direct messages from slack, a link is sent by email to the end user.
When the user clicks on the link, he will be redirected to Slack and requested to permit to access his direct messages. If the user accepts it, it generates a user token sent to the Cloudiway platform.
Cloudiway then uses this user token to access the user’s direct messages and extracts the messages into different HTML files (one file per conversation) that are then uploaded to the target in his OneDrive in a folder named “Slack.”
You can discover the user’s list by the GetList function under the Group List.
