Bring Slack Conversation History into Airtable

[marks]

This code example can be used to import messages from a Slack conversation (public or private channel, DM, or multi-party DM) into an Airtable table. You can also schedule this script to run on a recurring to keep your table in Airtable up to date with the new messages from Slack.

This code example is based on the generic airtable.js upsert example and uses airtable.js to interact with the Airtable REST API and @slack/web-api to interact with Slack's API.

• 🗒️ Note - This example is more complicated than the generic examples as we first loop through all "parent" Slack messages to update-or-create them and then loop through all "threaded replies" so that we can properly associate them with the correct "parent" Slack message. This can be observed in index.js; look for // First, upsert all parent messages, and then upsert all threaded replies

TODO:

• README with end-to-end instructions
• Add support for threaded replies
