Get thread replies - Automate.ax

slack.getThreadReplies reads a parent message and its thread replies. Slack identifies the thread with the parent message’s timestamp, exposed here as threadTimestamp.

Example

automations/read-slack-thread.automation.ts

import { automation } from "automate.ax"
import { slack } from "automate.ax/slack"

export default automation("Read Slack thread", () => {
  slack.getThreadReplies({
    conversationId: "C01234567",
    threadTimestamp: "1700000000.000001",
    limit: 15,
  })
})

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Default	Description
`conversationId`	`string`	Yes	None	Conversation containing the thread.
`threadTimestamp`	`string`	Yes	None	Timestamp of the thread’s parent message.
`cursor`	`string`	No	First page	Cursor from a preceding page.
`limit`	`number`	No	Slack default	Page size from 1 to 15.
`oldest` / `latest`	`string`	No	Unbounded	Slack timestamp bounds.
`inclusive`	`boolean`	No	Slack default	Includes exact timestamp bounds.
Second argument: `{ account }`	`string \| IntegrationAccountReference<"slack">`	No	Project default	Slack workspace binding.

Output

Returns messages: SlackMessage[], hasMore, and pagination responseMetadata.nextCursor. Preserve conversationId together with message timestamps: timestamps are only meaningful as message identifiers inside their conversation.
