This n8n workflow efficiently gathers all messages from a specified Slack channel over the past week, groups them by user, and then retrieves and processes all associated thread replies. It's perfect for gaining quick insights into channel activity and discussions.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow provides an automated solution for dissecting Slack channel activity. It starts by fetching all messages posted in a designated channel within the last seven days. These messages are then intelligently grouped by the user who posted them, with user details enriched for clarity. Crucially, the workflow goes a step further by identifying and extracting all replies within each message's thread, cleaning and simplifying them. This comprehensive data collection sets the stage for advanced reporting, sentiment analysis, or archiving of key discussions without manual effort.
