  1. What's my cookie? Easy & safe authentication

    This automation will connect to the website on your behalf. The safest and most efficient way for Phantombuster to authenticate as yourself is by using your session cookies. To make that process as easy as possible you can use PhantomBuster's browser extension. It's a 2-click installation.

    Get it for Chrome

    Get it for Firefox

    If you're operating from another browser and/or want to do it manually, here is how to do it.

  2. Input the URL of the Slack workspace to scrape.

    The second argument is Slack Workspace URL. We need it to know which Slack users you want to target.
    This URL should look something like yourcompany.slack.com.

  3. Input your Slack search query

    Input your Slack search query. You can use Slack's syntax if you want to constrain your search to specific dates, channels, users, etc.

    Then, pick the type of results you're looking for:

    • All

    • Files

    • Messages

    Note: Files will not be downloaded; only their URL will be extracted. You'll be able to download the file from the computer you're logged in to that very Slack workspace.
