🧑 Instructions for ingesting your own dataset

Export your Slack data. You can do this by going to your Workspace Management page and clicking the Import/Export option ({your_slack_domain}.slack.com/services/export). Then, choose the right date range and click Start export. Slack will send you an email and a DM when the export is ready. The download will produce a .zip file in your Downloads folder (or wherever your downloads can be found, depending on your OS configuration). Copy the path to the .zip file, and assign it as LOCAL_ZIPFILE below. 
from langchain_community.document_loaders import SlackDirectoryLoader

# Optionally set your Slack URL. This will give you proper URLs in the docs sources.
SLACK_WORKSPACE_URL = "https://xxx.slack.com"
LOCAL_ZIPFILE = ""  # Paste the local path to your Slack zip file here.

loader = SlackDirectoryLoader(LOCAL_ZIPFILE, SLACK_WORKSPACE_URL)

docs = loader.load()
