Visit the Zilla application and login using your admin credentials and then click Add Application in the top right.

Fill in the form with appropriate details and then click Add to Applications.
A detailed view of Slack application appears. Click Sync now in top right corner.
Enable API Integration and fill in the mandatory fields. Click Next/Sync Now.
Note: Sync Slack Channels (Yes/No) field will have default value No. If it is set to Yes, then all the channels (public, private) of the workspace will be synced to Zilla. If you want to sync only specific slack channels, please mention them in comma separated format under field “Filter channels by comma separated names with wildcards (eg. ext*, *internal, *sales*)“. |
Click Next and the sync will begin.
Click Allow if asked for permission and then click Done.
Sync summary window will pop-up, check and click Close.
To sync data we recommend using the API method. However, you may also sync data with our Browser Extension, follow instructions here: Slack - Browser Extension.
