SlackVault Documentation - Setup Guides and Reference

SlackVault documentationThe SlackVault documentation covers everything needed to take a workspace from nothing to a searchable archive. Setup runs in a fixed order because each step depends on the previous one: create a Slack app, configure Firebase, install the extension, then connect them. Start with the getting-started guide if this is a first install, or jump to a specific reference below.What this covers

Getting Started, the end-to-end first-run path.

Slack App Setup, creating the app and choosing scopes.

Firebase Setup, creating the project that stores your archive.

Extension Guide, running and monitoring syncs.

API Reference, the data shapes SlackVault writes.

FAQ, the questions that come up most often.

What SlackVault does not do

The guides assume you have permission to install an app in your Slack workspace. Restricted workspaces need an admin to approve it.

Firebase and Slack both own their own consoles; screenshots there can change without notice.
