Post a Message and Reply in Thread

with Slack

Post a parent message, reply in its thread, and read the thread back.

  1. Post the parent message that the thread will hang from and capture its timestamp.
  2. Post the reply anchored to the parent message timestamp so it appears in the thread.
  3. Read the thread replies back to confirm the reply was posted under the parent message.
What you'll need to have ready
  • channel: The channel ID to post the thread into.
  • parentText: The parent message text that starts the thread.
  • replyText: The reply message text posted under the parent.
