but it needs timestamp, no url

how can i convert url to timestamp?

Answer 1

The digits at the end of a Slack message URL is the timestamp of the message. You'll need to add a period six digits from the right and you can use this to delete your message via chat.delete .

As an example, for this URL: https://your-own-workspace.slack.com/archives/CA912334S/p1675234624350123 .

The timestamp would be 1675234624.350123 .
