Common Questions

Can I copy members from private channels?

Yes, as long as you're a member of both the source and destination channels, you can use /invite_channel with private channels.

Will members be notified when added?

Yes, members receive a standard Slack notification when they're added to a new channel, just like with manual invites. They can mute or leave the channel if desired.

What happens if someone is already in the destination channel?

Channel Tools automatically skips members who are already in the destination channel. No duplicates, no errors - just smooth operation.

How many people can I copy at once?

There's no limit! Channel Tools handles 10, 100, 1,000+ members with ease, working within Slack's API rate limits to ensure reliable delivery.

Can I combine members from multiple channels?

Absolutely! Run /invite_channel multiple times, selecting different source channels each time. This lets you create super-groups that combine members from across your workspace.
