Deletes Slack public & private channel and chat messages.

Locating The CHANNEL_ID —

*nbsp; Please Note:
The CHANNEL_ID is a hashed value that maps to the vanity name of each channel or user that you see inside the application.
 
Be sure to store the CHANNEL_ID value somewhere. We're going to pass it in as a parameter when we run our script.
*nbsp;

• Open a web browser & navigate to your Slack Workspace.
  • For Example: https://yourworkspace.slack.com/
• Select the channel or chat message from the left-sidebar.
• The CHANNEL_ID hash can be found in the URL for each individual channel or chat message.
  • For Example: https://yourworkspace.slack.com/messages/CHANNEL_ID/

Running The Script —

$ WORKSPACE=DEFAULT node delete-slack-messages.js <CHANNEL_ID>
$ WORKSPACE=PERSONAL node delete-slack-messages.js <CHANNEL_ID>
$ WORKSPACE=GOCANVAS node delete-slack-messages.js <CHANNEL_ID>
