Simple Doughnuts (ID: 000000a8df424d80) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/23/2022 Tried this several times in several ways but it was a NoGo from the beginning. I even went so far as resetting the browser entirely. Removed all other extensions. Logged into Slack, and began to use the app. At the end of the day I wound up removing all messages manually. I did read about the python scripts but didn't want to have to deal with a token without reading the script to make sure it was all fine --- thats not to say that this app is safe just because its on the Chrome web store; but more so that it reminded me that I should take a pause on using these types of apps. Anyway, don't waste your time or your money (I did the $2 but not worth disputing either)
