Integrations

Slack integration

Retrieve messages and thread replies from the Slack channels an administrator approves. Recover the discussion behind a decision, with author names, channel context, and a link back to the original message.

Approved channels define the boundary

Retrieve messages and thread replies from the Slack channels an administrator approves. Nothing is read until an administrator approves a specific channel, so the source boundary is a deliberate choice rather than the whole workspace.

Slack workspace

Channels an administrator approves

Messages, threads, and shared file text

Outside this path: channels nobody approved, direct messages, and group direct messages

Messages, threads, and shared files

Messages and threads

Channel messages with their thread replies kept together.

Shared files

Extractable text from documents shared in an approved channel.

Member-scoped channels

Private channel content limited to that channel’s current members.

Private channels stay with their members

Membership decides retrieval

Only channels an administrator approves are read. Private channel content is retrievable only by that channel’s current members. Direct messages and group direct messages are outside the source boundary.

Membership is evaluated when a query runs, not when the message was imported. Someone who leaves a private channel loses access to what was already indexed from it.

Local planning guide

Plan your Slack import

Check items for your own planning. Nothing here changes a live connection.

0 of 4 planning steps complete

List the channels whose discussions belong in retrieval.
Confirm an administrator can approve each channel under your organization’s policy.
Choose a memorable message or thread for verification.
Decide whether private channels are in scope, since they stay limited to their members.

History window on the first import

The first import reads a bounded window of past conversation rather than the entire archive. Workspaces on a free Slack plan also hide older history at the source, so the window is the smaller of the two limits.

1
Approve channels
An administrator selects each channel to index.
2
Import history
MemorySync reads the approved channels within the configured history window.
3
Track new activity
New messages, edits, and deletions arrive as they happen.

Edits and deletions follow the source

Deletion is not archival

Deleting a message in Slack purges the memories derived from it. Editing a message replaces what is retrievable, so the earlier wording stops appearing in results.

Verify retrieval from an approved channel

Query a memorable phrase from a known message in an approved channel. Confirm the result names the channel and author, and that its link opens the original message in Slack.

Troubleshooting and related sources

Why is a channel missing from the list?

Confirm it is an active channel and that MemorySync has been added to it. Private channels must be selected by a person in Slack first.

Why can a colleague not retrieve private channel content?

Private channel content is limited to that channel’s current members, and each member must be linked to a MemorySync account.

Why did a message disappear from results?

Deleting a message in Slack purges the memories derived from it.
