Continue Reading

You’d hardly find any tool that does Direct Message migration with the exact or similar UI just as Slack in Teams. AVAMIGRATRON is an admin friendly tool that can help your admins monitor the migration process without any issues and can migrate Direct messages too with ease.  

No loopholes, no throttles, no data loss and no pain for planning the migration timeline.  

What are Direct messages? 

Small conversations that happen outside the channels are Direct messages. It could either be One-to-one or a small group of up to nine people. 

When you are discussing ideas, where do you share them while being in the workplace? Whether it is solving a problem or sharing new ideas, we all do that in direct chats. These direct chats are nothing but Direct messages. You compose a message directly to the receiver and hit the send button.  

So, what’s the need for migrating direct messages? Why migrating Direct messages from Slack is so important? 

Irrespective of the size and type of the organization, Direct messages are very important as they are an asset with the most valuable information in them. The discussions, images, files, and screenshots are so much important. Whether it is a direct message with an SME, a conversation with a senior professional or with the CEO, or it could even be a chat with a guest or an external user, these messages are crucial for your business.  

When companies like you, want to expand and grow, they move to Teams by migrating all of their chats and conversations without leaving any data behind. They don’t want to lose any direct messages when they switch to a new platform.  

So, what’s the solution?  

Migrating Direct Messages without deleting them or losing them is the solution. AVAMIGRATRON can help you move all your Direct messages without leaving anything behind.  

Is it possible to get the Direct Message migration from Slack to Teams?  

By default, there is no import option in Teams that supports Direct Message migration, but you can always rely on third-party tools or services for getting the required support for your Direct Message migration. 

As mentioned earlier, not all third-party tools or service providers will help you do this, but AVAMIGRATRON is a tool built exclusively for users like you where you can have the privilege of migrating direct messages, multiparty messages, from all the workspaces along with the files, conversations, emojis, @mentions, snippets, pinned messages, internal links, rich text content, replies and timestamps from your Slack workspace to Teams with the same UI.  

When everything is getting migrated, will the security and privacy of the data be compromised? Absolutely not! You can be assured that your data is migrated safely and securely. We do not install the app in our workspace like other migration tools. We install the Slack and O365 apps in your workspace to retain the confidentiality of your data.

The process of migrating Direct messages or Direct chats from Slack to Teams is very easy and simple.  

All that we do is verify the users in the Source and Target using the ‘User verification process’. Once we get the inventory, we then move ahead with the migration.  

Once the migration is complete, you can see all the messages including replies, emojis, pinned messages, internal links, and everything that was there in Slack is migrated to Teams with the timestamp.  

You’d in no way feel like you’ve moved to a new platform. You can get access to all the important information and chats easily. Members present in the chat will have access to the files after migration.  

Check out the images below and see if you find any major differences 

1. Files migrated from Slack direct messages to Teams 
2. File shared by Calvin to Alexander in Slack is migrated to Teams along with the timestamp.  
3. @Mentions migrated from Slack direct messages to Teams with timestamp 
4. Emojis migrated from Slack direct messages to Teams with timestamp 

All of it is shown in the image above. That’s how the migrated files, @mentions, emojis look like with the timestamp.  

That’s it! Wasn’t this simple and easy?  

If you aren’t sure about the timeline and the mapping, we are ready to help you with that too. You can share your requirement and we’d do everything for you. Be it any size, any number of users, channels, or any kind of customization required, all that we want is the details of your requirement and we’d go about it seamlessly.  

You can sit back and relax while we migrate the data for you. You can also set any preferred time to get the migration done according to your convenience so there are no workflow disruptions.
