'Slack conversations.list method does not list all the channels
I have a slack application and I have authenticated using this application. When I list all the channels, some of the private channels are not listed. Do we need the access token of workspace admin to list all the private and public channels?
Solution 1:[1]
Stumbled across this question when Googling for a similar issue in a large org - I was getting the public channels, but not all of them were showing.
Turns out Slack has a default limit of returning 100 channels. To bypass this, simply pass a limit: 9999 parameter, eg:
app.client.conversations.list({
token: process.env.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN,
limit: 9999
}).then((res: any) => {...})

response = client.conversations_list(types="public_channel, private_channel")
