What happens to Albus when a Slack Public channel is converted to a Private channel?

If you're using Albus in your Slack workspace, you may have wondered what happens when you convert a public channel into a private one or vice versa. This article aims to clarify what happens in such situations and what steps you should take to ensure the privacy and functionality of your channels.
Privacy: 
  • Albus is designed to provide a seamless experience in your Slack workspace with unmatchable privacy.
  • However, there are limitations when it comes to handling the conversions of a public to a private channel if you are not on the Enterprise Grid plan.
  • Unfortunately, Slack does not provide event details that a bot like Albus can monitor when a public channel is converted into a private channel, unless you are using the Enterprise Grid plan.
  • As a result, Albus can not automatically adapt to changes in channel privacy. 
After Conversion:
When you are not on the Enterprise Grid, and you convert the public channel to the private, here is what you need to know:
  • Since Slack does not allow a bot like Albus to read the channel conversions, it can not maintain the privacy of the channel automatically, as it is unaware of the changes.
  • To ensure the privacy of the channel, you should manually remove it from the source and re-add it. This step is crucial to allow Albus to follow the channel's privacy.
  • Once you re-add the channel, Albus will adapt to the channel privacy accordingly.
  • Rest assured that it will follow all the set privacy guidelines.
