Overview

When your team is transitioning to Threads from Slack, it can be helpful to move your team's content from Slack over to Threads to maintain consistency with channels and to make sure you don't lose any historical context.

What is imported?

You can import up to 90 days of content when you create your organization or anytime from the Integrations tab.

A channel with the same name will be created in the organization on Threads, and you'll be able to access a transcript of the Slack channel as a read-only chat from the channel.
