Slack Member Fetch

Fetch Slack member information from a workspace or a specific Slack channel using the Slack Web API. Use when the user asks to list Slack members, get member profiles, fetch users from a channel, or export Slack member info. Supports workspace-wide lookup and channel-specific lookup. Not for sending Slack messages or editing Slack users.

This skill fetches member information from Slack.

What it can do

• List members from the whole Slack workspace
• List members from a specific Slack channel by channel ID
• List members from a specific Slack channel by channel name
• Return structured JSON for downstream automation

Required environment variable

export SLACK_BOT_TOKEN="xoxb-..."

Recommended Slack scopes

• users:read
• users:read.email
• conversations:read

Usage

Fetch all workspace members:

python3 scripts/fetch_slack_members.py --workspace

Fetch members from a channel by ID:

python3 scripts/fetch_slack_members.py --channel C0123456789

Fetch members from a channel by name:

python3 scripts/fetch_slack_members.py --channel-name general

Save output:

python3 scripts/fetch_slack_members.py --channel-name sales --out members.json

Output shape

{
  "ok": true,
  "source": "channel",
  "channel_id": "C0123456789",
  "channel_name": "sales",
  "count": 2,
  "members": [
    {
      "user_id": "U123",
      "username": "jane",
      "real_name": "Jane Doe",
      "display_name": "Jane",
      "email": "[e-mail]",
      "title": "Operations Manager",
      "timezone": "Asia/Manila",
      "is_admin": false,
      "is_owner": false,
      "is_bot": false,
      "deleted": false
    }
  ]
}

Notes

• If email is missing, confirm the app has users:read.email
• If channel lookup fails, confirm the app has access to that channel and conversations:read
• For large workspaces, the script follows Slack cursor pagination automatically
