This article shows how to import data from Discord to Slack. You will be able to import channels that you created in your Discord account as well as invite your Discord users to your Slack account. Apart from that, it will also help you import only messages if you don’t want to invite Discord users to Slack. Moreover, you will be able to import your karma user points to Slack and view the karma stats. For this, I am using a very helpful service named “Karmabot“.

This service takes the help of your Discord data and native import feature of Slack. After that, you can import your Discord data to Slack. Later, you can install Karmabot to Slack so that you can import all your Karma user points of Discord. Discord is a very popular voice and text chat service for gamers where you can create channels and invite others to chat. It is similar to Slack. Those who want to migrate from Discord to Slack, this service is great. In the screenshot below, you can see that my Discord account channels and user are visible.

How to Import Data from Discord to Slack?

Step 1: First of all, download the zip archive of your Discord data. For that, you need to copy authorization key of your Discord account.

Login to your Discord account and access Activity page. Now, open Developer tools of your browser. I am using Google Chrome browser but steps would be similar for other browsers. To open Developer Tools, hotkey is “Ctrl+Shift+i“. When Developer tools is opened, click on Network section.

After that, click “applications” from the list of names and select “Headers“. On the right hand part, scroll down the list and you will see “authorization” key. Copy it to the clipboard.
