SlackXO automatically backs up your Slack workspace, keeps a tamper-evident record of every backup, search, and export, and supports litigation holds and configurable retention.
Purpose-built for Slack — not a connector bolted onto a bigger platform.
// 14-day free trial — no card required. Manual backups work during your trial; scheduled daily backups start once you subscribe.
Slack is where decisions get made, approvals happen, and institutional knowledge accumulates — but most companies still treat it like disposable chat, not a business record.
Enterprise buyers often require SOC 2 or SOX before they'll sign. Without retention and tamper-evident logs, that's a harder conversation to have.
If a channel gets altered or deleted under an active litigation hold, that can be treated as spoliation — with real consequences, even if it wasn't intentional.
Lower-tier Slack plans age out messages on their own schedule, not yours — often before anyone realizes it's gone.
Seven capabilities, built around one job: keep a record that holds up.
Every backup, search, export, and restore is logged to a hash-chained trail. Alter one entry after the fact and the chain breaks — visibly, not silently.
When a message changes, SlackXO keeps what it said before — not just what it says now. A change made and reverted entirely between two backups won't be caught, but every version actually observed stays recoverable, searchable, and exportable.
Place any channel or user on hold and it's exempt from retention limits until you release it — regardless of your standard window.
Search every backed-up channel by keyword and date, including thread replies. Export a search's results, or the entire archive at once — nothing held back for size. Works even after uninstall.
Repost archived messages into a live channel, one at a time or in bulk. Each carries the original author and date — a labeled reconstruction, never a silent rewrite.
Only people an admin explicitly invites — by Slack handle — get access. No one can grant themselves a seat just by installing the app. Invited members get read-only access by default; admins choose who can touch holds, settings, or billing.
Choose how long messages are kept before they're eligible for purge. Anything on a legal hold is exempt automatically, no matter what the window is set to.
Add SlackXO to Slack and grant read access to the channels you want archived. Takes about a minute.
Every channel, thread, and file the bot's been added to gets backed up automatically and sealed into the chain — no one has to remember to run it.
Find any message, place a hold in one click, or bring something back into a live channel — all logged to the same trail.
What SlackXO covers: every channel and direct message the app has been added to, using Slack's standard Web API. For org-wide legal discovery across an entire Enterprise Grid workspace, that requires Slack's separate Discovery API program. Ask us if that's what you need.
Supports your own compliance work: SlackXO's tamper-evident audit trail, configurable retention, and litigation holds are built to support the communications-retention and audit-log controls that SOC 2 and SOX (Section 802) call for. SlackXO isn't itself SOC 2 certified, and using it doesn't make your organization compliant on its own — it's a tool that helps satisfy specific controls, not a substitute for your auditor's or counsel's sign-off.
Enterprise archiving software makes you earn the price. SlackXO just tells you.
Hosted if you want it running the moment you install it — priced by how many channels you're archiving. Self-hosted if your data can't leave your own infrastructure.
