'Reply or forward messages to another channel.' has been merged into this idea

Move a message to another channel

Sometimes a user posts his message in the wrong channel. Deleting the message and repost is a simple solution. However, sometimes the message already contains replies. Is it possible (to make) to move a message including its replies to another channel?

We are currently looking at bringing the features of the Wrangler plugin into the core product to solve the use cases of:

1. Moving a message or thread to another channel
2. Attaching a message to an existing thread

You can follow progress here as we start design soon: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-35848

    We're still waiting, especially for the direct messages forwarding (at least as markdown formatted text)

    This feature is really needed because users often write their posts into improper channel. It would be great to select multiple messages and move them into another channel with preserved timestamps. As far as I know, Wrangler does not keep the original timestamps which is pity.

    Reviving this. This is a crucial feature that is missing in MM.

  • Thomas commented  ·   ·  Report

    It seems that this will never happen.

  • Mike commented  ·   ·  Report

    I think everyone need this, message forwarding is the main feature in messengers :)

    We use Mattermost for faster inhouse com and have many "older" users that are not so familiar with modern messenger communication habits. They are quite ambitious, but often post in the wrong team/channel and I am expected to deal with it. Such possibility would make my life as Mattermost admin a lot easier!

    There are many people who post to town square. I want to move messages for organization.

  • Anastasiia commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, please! Need this feature very much!

  • Pedro Henrique Conciani Corso commented  ·   ·  Report

    We really need this feature. Copying and pasting, aside from being slow and inefficient for multiple messages, also makes us lose track of the original poster of the message.

  • Vladimir Kopylov commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's definitely a must have feature, our team really misses it!

  • Yaroslav Otnyukov commented  ·   ·  Report

    Forwarding messages like Telegram - killer feature for corporate chat!

  • Anil commented  ·   ·  Report

    Sometimes user may need to forward messages from one person/channel to different person/channel. It would be nicer have forward option for messge.
