Reading previously sent messages #504

Open lstach opened 7 months ago

Hi all. I've configured my Mattermost bot to read messages when a user in a channel the bot is in sends them. What I am hoping to do is effectively "scrape" a channel to read previous messages that have been sent, rather than just read 1 message at a time as they are sent.

Is there a function in the Mattermost bot that would allow me to do this?

Possibly driver.posts.get_posts_for_channel or one of the other ones in the posts API.
