Usage

Basic authoization

$ slacktool --token=[YOUR_TOKEN]

Channels

This allows you to interact with Slack channels (conversations). All these subcommands accept filters like --starts-with or --contains. Deleting and Archiving allow --dry-run mode to simulate the behavior without making real changes.

Listing Channels

Listing all your channels

$ slacktool --token=[YOUR_TOKEN] channels --list

Listing all your channels, excluding archived

$ slacktool --token=[YOUR_TOKEN] channels --list --exclude-archived

Listing all your channels with 1 member

$ slacktool --token=[YOUR_TOKEN] channels --list --members 1

Listing all your channels with no members

$ slacktool --token=[YOUR_TOKEN] channels --list --empty-only

Archiving Channels

Remember to first test the execution of this command with the --dry-run argument!!

Watching changes before running this command

$ slacktool --token=[YOUR_TOKEN] channels --archive --exclude-archived --members 1 --dry-run

Archiving all your channels with 1 member

$ slacktool --token=[YOUR_TOKEN] channels --archive --exclude-archived --members 1

Listing all your channels with no members

$ slacktool --token=[YOUR_TOKEN] channels --archive --exclude-archived --empty-only
