One can use regular expressions to clean up the info that Slack provides.

#"^([^(]*)(\((?:DM|Channel)\))[^-]+[-\s]+([^-]+)[-\s]+.*?Slack(?:\s\[Main+]\s)?(.*?)$"

then the name of the group or individual you are chatting in can be accessed via the following capturing group {{1}}

need to turn on full path capture as Charlie suggested.

it already works.
you may have to turn on full path capture in settings of manictime.
the title is displayed as
channel - workspace - x new items - slack

Slack now shows the channel in the title, so this issue might not be valid anymore.

I'd really like to see slack integration with a bit more detail. Surprised that this feature doesn't have more votes... :-)

This is the most important feature to me as well. I spend a good portion of my day in Slack, with channel setup for different project, each with different time codes. Would be great to map these channels to tags in MT so i can make my time card even more accurate.

I've already put in a request for Slack to show the channel in the title bar, but they don't seem to be rushing to do that either.

I think this is a really important feature, especially as Slack is used more and more in the workplace.
