Migration Options
Cloudiway offers three distinct approaches for mapping Slack channels to Microsoft Teams structures:
Option 1: Team-Level Migration
Migrate Slack channels into a Microsoft Team's default General Channel.
How It Works
- Specify only the Team name in the target field
- The system creates the Team if it doesn't exist
- Slack channel content migrates to the General channel
- Best for: Simple migrations with few channels per workspace
Option 2: Specific Channel Migration
Map Slack channels to specific channels within a Microsoft Team.
How It Works
- Enter both the Team name and Target Channel Name
- The platform creates missing Teams or channels during preprocessing
- Maintains 1:1 mapping between Slack and Teams channels
- Best for: Preserving channel structure after migration
Example Mapping
Option 3: Private Channel Migration
Migrate Slack private channels to Microsoft Teams private channels.
How It Works
- Enable the "Migrate to Private Channel" option
- Map Slack private channels to Teams private channels
- Preserves the private nature of the content
- Maintains membership restrictions
- Best for: Confidential team discussions and projects
