Export chat transcript

How could we go about exporting a chat transcript to an external source? At Discourse we already do this for Slack.

Here’s what the code looks like:

discourse/discourse-chat-integration/blob/master/lib/discourse_chat/provider/slack/slack_transcript.rb

module DiscourseChat::Provider::SlackProvider
  class SlackTranscript
    attr_reader :users, :channel_id, :messages

    def initialize(channel_name:, channel_id:)
      @channel_name = channel_name
      @channel_id = channel_id

      @first_message_index = 0
      @last_message_index = -1 # We can use negative array indicies to select the last message - fancy!
    end

    def set_first_message_by_ts(ts)
      message_index = @messages.find_index { |m| m.ts == ts }
      @first_message_index = message_index if message_index
    end

    def set_last_message_by_ts(ts)
      message_index = @messages.find_index { |m| m.ts == ts }
      @last_message_index = message_index if message_index

And here’s the feature in practice:

We’d be happy to implement this in our general purpose chat integration plugin if we can get a couple of pointers.

Was this ever implemented?
From the discourse docs it seems that post transcript is not implemented for mattermost
