An admin uploads a Slack export and Freesbe brings in the people, public and private channels, DMs and group DMs, messages, threads, reactions, mentions, files and profile pictures. Everyone who is not on Freesbe yet gets an account that waits for them, with their history already in it, and takes it over with a personal sign-in link.
For Admins moving a team off Slack without losing what was said there.
In Slack, export your data and download the zip. In Freesbe, open Workspace settings, Integrations & apps, Import from Slack, click Upload Slack export and pick the zip. Once the upload finishes you can close the window; the import keeps running. Freesbe imports whatever the zip contains: a standard Slack export usually has public channels only, and exports with private channels and DMs are available to owners on some Slack plans.
The Imports list shows each import's progress: reading the export, adding people, creating channels, importing messages, linking threads and copying files from Slack. A Slack public channel with the same name as an existing Freesbe channel is merged into it; private channels always come in as their own. People who already have a Freesbe account with the same email get their Slack history on it. When the import finishes, everyone's app reloads to show it.
Start free with up to 10 people and try it today, or book a 20-minute demo with the people who make Freesbe.
Imported people who are not on Freesbe yet show Not signed in yet in Members. Each takes over their account with a sign-in link, so nobody can claim someone else's messages just by knowing their email. Email everyone their link in one click, download the links as a CSV to send yourself, or copy one person's link. Links work for 30 days, and people can also sign in with the email Slack had for them, by code, with Google or Microsoft, or with a password.
After the move, point your Slack incoming webhooks at Freesbe's webhook URLs instead. Freesbe's incoming webhooks accept Slack's format, so the scripts and tools that posted to Slack post to Freesbe with nothing rewritten. Then install the desktop app for everyone, and the team is on the other side with its channels, its history and its alerts.
Import from Slack is included in Business, Corporate and Enterprise.
