Archive Slack messages as Google Drive text files

Save Slack messages containing [Archive] as UTF-8 text files in Google Drive. Connect Slack and Google Drive, choose source channels and optionally browse to a destination folder. The [Archive] keyword is prefilled and matched anywhere without case sensitivity; bot messages are ignored. Each file contains the original message text, author ID, channel ID, message timestamp and a source channel URL. The filename uses the workspace, channel and message timestamp with a .txt extension. Leaving Parent folder empty saves to My Drive. Includes its own fictional English Bremen handoff example. Add FastHook to the source Slack channel before activation. Leaving Channels empty watches every channel accessible to the connection. Matching human thread replies also create files. Existing messages, edits and deletions are not synchronized; attached files and thread history are not copied. Slack formatting and mentions remain source text. This is a message capture, not a full workspace backup. Files inherit the destination folder access; no public sharing action is added. Manual reruns can create duplicate files.

Send Slack notifications for new Google Drive files

Notify your Slack channel when a new file is created in a Google Drive folder. Each message includes the file name, type and a direct Drive URL. Connect Google Drive and Slack, browse to the folder to watch, and choose a channel where the FastHook bot can post. Leaving the folder empty watches the connected Drive. The folder scope includes direct children only; subfolders are not scanned. Detection uses file creation time, so moving an older file into the folder is not guaranteed to trigger a notification. Polling may include files created roughly one minute before setup; older files and later edits are not imported. Includes its own fictional English project document example with German characters. Messages preserve literal text and disable link previews. File names and URLs become visible to channel members, but Drive sharing permissions stay unchanged.
