Send Message In Thread

danger

This action has been deprecated and will no longer be available in new workflows.

Create a new thread by replying to a message in a channel or a private group or reply to an existing thread by providing the timestamp of the original message. NOTE: If the channel/group is private, the Blink application must be added to the channel to reply to messages in it.

Basic Parameters

Parameter	Description
Channel	Channel, private group, or IM channel to send message to. Can be an encoded ID, or a name.
Text	Message contents.
Thread Timestamp	The timestamp value of the thread's original message. Avoid using a reply's timestamp value, use its parent instead.

Advanced Parameters

Parameter	Description
Blocks	A JSON-based array of structured blocks.
