Build and Maintain a SharePoint Knowledge Base from Slack Conversations

Identify valuable answers and decisions shared in Slack channels, extract the content, and save it as organised documents in SharePoint so institutional knowledge is preserved and searchable across the organisation.

How the workflow runs

The scenario uses specific integration tools at each step, while Metorial keeps access scoped and visible.

  1. 1

    Search for flagged knowledge in Slack

    Search Slack for messages that have been pinned, bookmarked, or tagged with a knowledge emoji to identify content worth preserving.

    • slack:search_messages
  2. 2

    Retrieve full thread context

    Fetch the complete thread for each identified message to capture the full question, discussion, and resolution.

    • slack:get_conversation_history
  3. 3

    Check for existing SharePoint documents on the topic

    Search SharePoint to determine whether a document covering this topic already exists, to decide whether to create a new file or update an existing one.

    • microsoft-sharepoint:search
  4. 4

    Upload the knowledge document to SharePoint

    Format the extracted thread content into a clean document and upload it to the appropriate SharePoint library folder organised by topic area.

    • microsoft-sharepoint:manage_file
  5. 5

    Update the knowledge base index list

    Create or update a SharePoint list item in the knowledge index with the document title, topic tags, source channel, and date for easy discovery.

    • microsoft-sharepoint:manage_list_items
