Mass unsubscribe

[rpdelaney]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We have a feeds channel and subscribed to a lot of repos individually. The people who subscribed originally are no longer with the company. To cut down on the spam we want to TNT the subscriptions and start over, without affecting the configuration on other channels.

The current workflow seems to be /github unsubscribe owner/repo but that is going to be a LOT of copy-pasting in our case: over 200 repos!

Describe the solution you'd like /github unsubscribe should support wildcards, like /github unsubscribe owner/* or /github unsubscribe *.

Describe alternatives you've considered I could make a slack bot to send the commands or use autohotkey. That's not really a solution.

@rpdelaney do you still get the notifications for the subscriptions created by folks who left the organization? Subscriptions should automatically be deleted once the creator loses access to the subscription.

[rpdelaney]

@sushmita-m It seems that way. Regardless, the subscriptions are there, and we want to remove them -- without copy-pasting 200 times preferably.

@rpdelaney, thanks for the feedback. We will evaluate if we can provide any support (UI/CLI) that makes subscribe/unsubscribe easier.

Hi, any update on this? It would be great to have a simpler way of managing repo subscriptions on Slack.

We'd also like support for this.
