Warning

Enterprise Workspaces Security Alerts

Depending on your Slack plan and security settings, using Slackdump may trigger Slack security alerts and/or notify workspace administrators of unusual or automated access/scraping attempts.

You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with your organisation’s policies and Slack’s terms of service.

That said, here are some tips for safe operations without triggering the scraping alerts:

1. Always use -channel-users flag. This will avoid accessing the full user list, which may be long and may trigger the logout. Example:

   slackdump archive -channel-users C01581023

2. Avoid full channel listing. Collect the URLs or Channel IDs of the channels that you need and create a text file with each URL or Channel ID on a separate line (see slackdump help syntax). Once you have collected everything you need, run:

   slackdump archive -channel-users @list.txt

   • If you only need to download DMs and the list is short, use -chan-types im. If the DM list is large, prefer tip #1 instead. For example:

     slackdump archive -chan-types im
