Import Slack channel conversations into existing ClickUp chats
Jackson James
The "Import from Slack" feature doesn't really hold much value for us if it can't import into actual ClickUp Chats. Importing as a list is quite pointless and very difficult to continue conversations as it's completely separate from Chat.
Will the "Import from Slack" feature soon allow for Slack channels to be imported to a selected ClickUp chat (instead of as a list)?

Hi Jackson,
Totally with you on this. I'd love to migrate from Slack to Clickup Chat, but the import process creates a problem. If I import a slack channel that is devoted to a project from Slack, a new channel is created into Clickup, but that channel cannot have it's own Space (with Tasks, Docs, Chat, etc) in Clickup.
Alternately, if I create a new space in Clickup, a chat channel is created for it in Clickup, but I cannot import messages from a Slack channel into that Clickup channel.
So, as you say, the import from slack feature doesn't hold enough value.

David Wright, it’s the biggest frustration for our team at the moment.
ClickUp:
“We released the Import from Slack to Chat feature!”
The feature:
• Doesn’t import into Chat
• Imports as a useless List
• Can’t merge the List with an existing Chat, so you’re stuck with a random List with no tasks (because tasks already have lists)
Completely useless import feature for us and many other teams.

Hi Tadej Jevševar, please tell me there is a plan to improve the Slack-ClickUp import feature?
Being able to import Slack channels into an existing Chat in ClickUp will mean a lot of teams can make the final transition from Slack to ClickUp.
If I can speak frankly, importing Slack channels as a separate list is quite unmanageable and creates clutter with dozens of unnecessary lists, especially when importing an entire Slack workspace.
