It is working for me when I am using it for public channels but for private channels I get the error message that the channel does not exist. I have checked the channel name and tried it for different channels and they are all correct. Only the private channels do not work.

What is the command you are running? @Doxortho

I'm using "slack-history-export -t [token] -c [channel]"

It works for channels that are not private and creates the json file but when I use the name of a channel that is private, it tells me that channel does not exist.

Private channels are called groups in slack, so you need to use the -g command.

slack-history-export -t [token] -g [groupName]
