Create A Slack Crawler That Can Get User Emails From Multiple Channels

About:

Currently in order to crawl a slack channel for specific information you need to add your bot into channel, which is a problem because admins can reject that. I created a tool that can allow you to crawl users information from specific channel. Information include: user full name, email, job title, and other information that user decided to show. The tool does this by using browser automation. When you run the script it it will start 2 browser windows and one will search for users and add to DB and the other will get the user details. So, the process is done in parallel to speed it up. There a lot of configuration options when it comes to running the script:

• Input file with slack auth, slack channels
• Output file format(json,csv)
• Output file fields name
• DB config(we are using db to store data for faster crawling)

Script can be run on: macOS, Ubuntu, Windows.
