Hello all,
We have created a flow using slack scope where we are posting a message in slack channel so after waiting of 2 hours another message should get post on previous message thread on the same channel.
Please help me on this!!!
Thank you in advance.
Hello
Posting the step by step guide on how to post the thread message on slack, if this help you please mark as helpfull. ✔️
Step 1: Create a copy of the original "Post Message" action in Flow Designer.
Step 2: Add a new input variable in the action called timestamp (this will hold Slack's ts value).
Update the Create Payload script to include this input if provided:
Step 3: In Post Processing, add logic to capture Slack's response and extract the ts:
Step 4: Create an output variable in Post Processing called message_ts.
Step 5: Add this output variable (ts) to the action's Outputs section so it can be used in flows.
Step 6: When posting the first message, capture:
- Slack Channel ID
- Message Timestamp (ts)
Store these values (e.g., on the Incident record).
When posting a follow-up message after 2 hours, use:
- The same channel ID
- The saved thread_ts (timestamp) in your copied Post Message action
This ensures the follow-up message appears in the same thread.
✅This new action will allow you to post messages in Slack threads using Flow Designer.
💡Please mark my answer correct and helpful if this works for you ✔️
