Slack send a message node - reply in Thread

I am trying to configure the Slack Send a message node to send the message to a thread.

But if i toggle the Reply to Thread, it send the message to thread, but also to the channel as a reply. I do not wanna spam the channel, so I am looking for a way how to reply only to the thread of a message.

When using the Slack Send a Message node, make sure you pass the thread_ts of the parent message instead of just toggling Reply in Thread. Also, don’t enable reply_broadcast. That way the reply will stay only inside the thread and won’t appear in the main channel.

@Aashu_Rajput thanks for the reply, I am passing the thread_ts , but I do not see option to disabled the reply_broadcast :thinking: do you know where in the UI is it?

The trick is to skip the “Reply in thread” toggle and instead just pass the parent message’s thread_ts in the Additional Fields. If you only set thread_ts (and don’t include reply_broadcast), Slack will keep the reply inside the thread and won’t show it in the main channel. That way you avoid spamming the channel.
