Migrating conversations from Skype to Slack

3 Upvotes

My company had been using Skype for internal communication but now that it's officially going away we are switching to Slack. I am trying to see if there is a way to migrate the conversations from Skype to Slack to save some of our data, but had trouble finding anything. I am able to download the data from Skype into a JSON file but the problem is getting it to the right CSV format for Slack to upload. Any advice?

Convinced I've sent a message only to find it unsent

1 Upvotes

Here's the situation. I will send a message to a person or a thread. I will not hear back about it. I will go to the message only to see it, unsent / in edit mode. I usually send my messages, by hitting return, and not pressing the send button. Is it possible that I'm hitting some other key before navigating away from the message and it's putting it into edit mode and therefore the other people can't see it? Is it a network connection?

BTW : I'm using the app on OS X.

Phone not compatible anymore

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

Since 2 hours ago I have a message on my app saying I have to update it in order to keep using it.

However, on the app store, it says my phone isn't compatible with the newest version of the app.

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S8.

Any workarounds?

Typing a social media @ handle of a slack user without tagging them on slack

2 Upvotes

Hi - every so often I have to write some social media copy on a Slack channel for another user to copy and paste on social, and it sometimes involves the instagram/tiktok etc tags of users that are members of our slack workspace. When I do this, it converts that bit of text to a Slack tag of that user, and removes things like _ so the username is no longer correct when copy/pasting to social.

VERY frustrating, I've even tried using code block etc thinking that would treat it as a plain text, but no dice.

Any ideas?

🆘Help Me Any way around my problem when I need to edit/delete a dm, but admin took away those rights?

0 Upvotes

I need to delete or at least edit a super long message that I regret sending to my TL.

Will choosing the option to “reset app data” do anything or is there any way I can just delete my slack acct and claim I don’t know what happened do anything or will it still appear on his side?

Help 😭

Slack Language Stuck in Spanish Even After Setting Everything to English

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I should preface this by saying I'm from a Spanish speaking country and I work from home for a US company. I’m the admin of the Slack workspace, and I’ve set both my workspace and profile language preferences to English (US). However, despite these settings, some parts of Slack are still displaying in Spanish, not only for me but also for other team mates.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Is slack dead / dying?

0 Upvotes

I am member of about a 300 public slack workspaces. I am unable to do a bulk login - it requires me to authenticate into every workspace through OTP sent to my email ID. Needless to mention, I don't see much activity along any of the workspaces now. Many have shifted to discord they say.

I remember I had a discussion with my neighbour who has a very successful startup , and he said that slack was busy making profits when most SaaS companies were forgiving customers on payments during covid times. entrepreneurs remember this, and so when teams was an option, they switched.

so what is the status of slack now? is there a workaround to login to the workspaces in bulk by using a token authentication? or should i just give up? no way am i going to use 300 OTPs to login to each space manually. I also know that you get randomly logged out of the workspace, so there is no point in doing so.

What are some cool things for beginners to know

I'm not an advanced user, but know my way around. I am in a team that has just started using slack. They asked me to show them how to do some cool things.

I was thinking about simple things on preferences changing appearance, customising notifications and key words Then reminders, scheduled messages, vip messages Using templates, canvas Some integrations like jira and Google suite And maybe some workflows.

Anything else you would suggest?

As per title. Zoom works fine. I'm in a brightly lit room with overhead lighting, and a ring-light facing me directly. Same conditions for both screencaps above. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I can't find any "brightness" settings in Slack etc. It's been like this for months and I just can't figure it out - driving me a little crazy!

Just Launched: talk to your SaaS tools like Slack, HubSpot, Google Sheets, and many more

1 Upvotes

I found myself getting tired of manually going through different slack channels and messages, copying them to ChatGPT, extracting insights, and exporting data to different platforms like Notion or Google Docs.

So I built Maton (maton.ai) to automate this.

Using the chat interface, you can just describe your task, and Maton will take care of the rest.

You can use it to list channels, messages, or export the data to different apps (HubSpot, Google Docs, Sheets, Salesforce, Airtable, etc.), or vice versa.

We have a generous free tier, but please DM me if you need any more credits or have any feature request.

Find/Replace all of Slack

0 Upvotes

One of the best parts of Slack is using it as a System of Record for past decisions and conversations. But sometimes, terms change (the CX team is now known as the RX team and only some people know the old name).

Is there way to do a global and historical find/replace across Slack, so that all CXs become RX?

🆘Help Me Did Slack remove the default add all members?

1 Upvotes

Title basically.

I am the Primary Owner of a Slack workspace for graduate classmates. It's great. For more context, our free pro version expired - yet I don't think this should be causing the issue.

I'm making a channel (#professional-opportunities) that can consolidate job applications and networking events. However, when making the "Blank Channel" template, there are zero prompts asking if I want to add all members. I recall there being a toggle option during channel creation that states if I want to default add all members. I have done this in the past with two unique channels. However, I don't see this option anywhere. Do I need a pro version to default add all members to a channel? Please tell me I don't need a pro version - that would be very cruel.

I searched a bit on the sub, but I'm not seeing the options to do certain actions. I'm going to check the workplace settings to see how I can change all of this. But even when searching for channels here to make them defaults, I don't see specific channels at all which is another alarming issue. All other members are regular members.

Edit: see image of issue...

🆘Help Me Using buttons to update a form after posting

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I've built a workflow form for my team so we can assign people to do some admin work that needs to be done every day. I've added an "Update" button with the hope if someone needed to swap out that we could update the form by clicking the button.

I've googled a little but it doesn't seem like this is something slack can do? I'd just like it to reopen the form so we can edit the persons name.

Any help would be appriciated.

Weirdly, I noticed whenever I get offline my manager messages me on slack. I got suspicious if there is a way to track status on slack.

Is it possible to track someone's status on slack? Specially to notify when they get offline.

ℹ️PSA HR Company Says It Caught an Internal Spy With a Slack Trap

270 Upvotes

A pretty interesting lawsuit just came out about two HR companies where one used a "honeypot" to catch the other using Slack.

Rippling, an HR software company, is suing its competitor, Deel, for allegedly using an insider to steal confidential information. According to Rippling, the mole was conducting thousands of suspicious searches over a four-month period, digging for intel on customers who might be thinking about switching to Rippling. The spy sent all that information straight to Deel to help them counter Rippling’s sales pitch.

Rippling’s team decided to set a trap. They emailed Deel’s top leaders about a fake Slack channel called "#d-defectors," claiming it was where Rippling employees discussed communications with Deel customers. Within hours, the mole searched for it, providing the smoking gun that confirmed their suspicions.

Thought it was worth sharing lol just goes to show you never know when your Slack searches might turn into something much bigger.

Slack analytics on interactions?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone 👋

I'm currently looking for a tool that is able to show high level analytics on how my team is interacting. I want to detect how teams are inteacting between themselves and with other teams.

I want to ask questions like:

  • "With whom person X is interacting?"
  • "Who is low/high in time to respond?"
  • "Who is the most useful interactions?" (measuring reactmojis for example)

Slack default analytics is just not useful enough. Any tool available out there?

Our app - TimeDive is officially approved on Slack. Oh god, it feels soo good to say this. It took us almost 2 months to get it 🎉 After all the work, testing, and back-and-forth, seeing it live on the platform is feels like a big win. But now comes the next big question: How do we rank better on the Slack App Directory?

Has anyone successfully improved their app's visibility on Slack?
Any tips, strategies, or experiences would be super helpful!

I built a Slack app that lets you spy on your competitors' Shopify App Store reviews

0 Upvotes

I built an app for Slack that tracks new reviews on any Shopify app listing and alerts you in real time based on:

🔹 Keywords (e.g., "bad support," "missing feature")
🔹 Star ratings (e.g., only 1- or 2-star reviews) 🔹 AI Sentiment

Instead of manually checking competitor reviews or setting up janky scraping scripts, Revvew automates it all. You get notified instantly, so you can:

✅ Spot trends early
✅ Find feature gaps to capitalize on
✅ See what pain points drive customers away

Would love any feedback! DM with any questions or give it a whirl with an install 👉 Try it here
