emojiparser

tools to assist with bulk uploading emojis to your Slack!

Notes

These tools are here to bridge the workflow gaps when trying to migrate slack emojis from one org to another.

Requirements

emojipacks Slack Emoji Porter

download / setup / install both these tools first, so that you can use this toolset.

Note that emojipacks has to have the extra changes from my fork to work right.

Usage

Phase 1: create pack

first phase, we use slackporter to get a list of all 'missing' emoji, then convert that into an emojipack yaml.

start slackporter and let it do its thing. Let it load a page of emojis. Scroll this page all the way to the bottom so that it finishes loading everything. In Chrome, do a SaveAs, Complete of the whole page. you only need the contents of the <div class="main"> but you may not have to trim the page at all. put the resulting file into /src/foo.html

if you get your emojis somewhere else, you may have to edit parser.py to add a mode for your input data.

Finally, run parser.py foo to create out/foo.yaml

Phase 2: import pack

this just uses emojipacks to perform a standard bulk import of the new 'foo' pack, and log the output

run emojipacks -s <slackID> -e <email> -p <pass> -y out/foo.yaml |tee out/foo.log

Phase 3: pack rerates

in a perfect world this would have been enough, but sadly, many of your uploads have now failed for myriad reasons. You have a log of this in out/foo.log.

trim out/foo.log by hand until it is nothing but lines of the form key:{json} and save it as src/foo.log

run reparser.py foo which will create out/re-foo.yaml

finally run emojipacks -s <slackID> -e <email> -p <pass> -y out/re-foo.yaml |tee src/foo.log

repeat this until there are no failures reported by reparser.py

Stomping Duplicates

so you've found a better pack, but some of the emoji names are already taken?

First, run reparser.py foo True which will create out/re-foo.yaml as a list of only the emojis that didn't get uploaded due to duplicate names.

Next, run emojipacks -s <slackID> -e <email> -p <pass> -y out/re-foo.yaml --remove |tee -a src/re-foo.log to delete all those emoji from your slack channel.

Last, run emojipacks -s <slackID> -e <email> -p <pass> -y out/re-foo.yaml |tee -a src/foo.log to re-upload all the emoji you just made room for.
