What’s changing
We recently announced the ability to import data from other messaging platforms using the Google Chat API. To build upon this, we’re excited to announce a new migration solution from CloudFuze that enables you to import data from Slack into Google Chat.
With this integration, you can move messages and memberships from Slack channels into Chat spaces. CloudFuze also imports data while maintaining historical timestamps to ensure users can start using spaces right where they left off.
Who’s impacted
Admins and developers
Why you’d use it
Developed in collaboration with Google Workspace, CloudFuze imports your knowledge repository from Slack into Google Chat.
