Slack to Google Chat migration
Quick answer

Yes, you can migrate from Slack to Google Chat. Codimite, a Google Cloud Partner, moves your Slack users, channels, messages and file attachments into Google Chat spaces with a phased, low-risk cutover, so your team keeps its conversations while consolidating chat, email, docs and meetings into a single Google Workspace license.

Why migrate

Why teams move from Slack to Google Chat

Consolidation & cost

If you already pay for Google Workspace, Google Chat is included, so moving off Slack removes a whole standalone subscription.

One platform, one admin

Chat, Gmail, Drive, Docs, Calendar and Meet under a single admin console, identity and security policy, instead of bolting Slack onto everything else.

Native to the tools you already use

Share a Doc, start a Meet, or attach a Drive file from inside a chat without a third-party connector.

Gemini built in

Google's AI assists across Chat, Docs, Gmail and Meet under one model and one governance policy, rather than per-tool AI add-ons.

Message-retention & compliance limits

Teams on Slack's lower tiers hit message-history caps; Google Workspace handles retention and eDiscovery under one Vault governance model.

FAQs

Slack to Google Chat migration FAQ

Can you migrate Slack history to Google Chat?

Yes, users, public and private channels, messages, threads and file attachments move into Google Chat spaces. Available history depth depends on your Slack plan's export/API access, which we confirm up front.

Do Slack channels become Google Chat spaces?

Yes. Channels map to spaces with names, topics and membership preserved where your Slack plan exposes them.

Will there be downtime?

No hard downtime. We run a phased cutover with a pilot first; Slack stays available until each team is validated on Google Chat.

How long does it take?

Days for a small workspace; two to six weeks for large multi-workspace enterprises, driven by history volume and channel count.
