# IndexIMs

A Boolean value that specifies whether to ingest a document for each Slack direct message channel that is processed. If you set this parameter to `FALSE`, the connector does not create a document representing the direct message channel.

TIP: To retrieve information about direct message channels you must set ProcessIMs to `TRUE`. When `ProcessIMs` is `FALSE`, the connector does not retrieve any information about direct message channels or their content.
