How to Reply in Threads on Slack with Zapier Integration

Β·

Is it possible to reply to a message in slack, with a threaded message, rather than pinging the channel itself? I have a Slack>Zapier>Clay>Slack flow. Zapier listens to a slack channel for a trigger, and when the trigger is hit, a table runs in clay to return a value. The value is returned as a message to the channel. I want it to reply to the triggering message in a thread, rather than as an unrelated message into the channel. Here's the table, ty clay πŸ™

    To configure your Slack > Zapier > Clay > Slack flow to reply in a thread, you'll need to modify your Zapier action that sends messages to Slack. Here's how: 1. In your Zap, use the "Send Message to Channel with Slack" action. 2. When setting up this action, look for an option called "Thread TS" or "Reply in Thread". 3. For the "Thread TS" field, use the timestamp of the original message from your trigger step. This setup will ensure your Clay response is sent as a reply in the thread of the triggering message. Do you need help locating the "Thread TS" option in your Zapier action, or do you have any other questions about setting this up?
