Importing from Slack, Hipchat, Flowdock, Basecamp, etc.
Hi,
We are using Slack for a long time and now we are thinking to transition to MS Teams. In Slack it is possible to export all channel content's in JSON with links to files uploaded to slack.
It could be very useful to have the ability to import the slack history into MS teams.

Thank you for your continued feedback. We are currently working on this, and recently announced this feature for developers in Beta. For more information, please visit https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-teams/blogs/importing-3rd-party-platform-messages-to-microsoft-teams-is-now-available-in-beta/.

This would be very useful for us in the near future. It gives us the option to migrate from Slack. Otherwise it could be a deal-killer.

This will be great, would be good to include Skype Consumer in this group to consider for those that are using it within work

I would also like to be able to import from basecamp and excel into MS Teams. Has there been any further development in that regard?

Tom commented
We would migrate if this were an option.

The Teams adoption would be much easier if we didn't have to worry about losing chat history from Slack.

table stakes imo for our org to cut over from Slack. Too much important history to lose or be forked from

Yes, my teams have been using Slack and Basecamp for years. It is important to be able to import from these.

Can't move my entire dev/product team over until an import function is created.
**** - even a third party "so-so" bandaid would be good enough. -

We plan to move from Slack, losing that history is bad.

Please prioritize this - my team can't switch until you do.

Slack migration would vastly simplify the challenge of adopting Teams

Slack is highest priority for me, but Whatsapp maybe a good add to the list at a lower priority.

Yes - I run an MSP and all of our clients were on Slack. I could move thousands of users to Teams if this functionality existed!

Up voting!

I cannot get my dev teams to switch to Teams unless we can import the history from Slack. When is this feature coming?

Guardian IS commented
Let me know when this is done and I'll make the switch to MS Teams.

The only thing holding me back from migrating 65 devs to Teams is the loss of history in Slack. This should be a *very* high priority feature on the Teams backlog.
