Question

How to identify the Slack thread replies?

Hi guys! I need your help!

I have an integration between slack and google sheets in which when a post is made it’s directed to a sheet called Posts, and when a reply in the thread is made it’s directed to Replies sheet in google sheets.

 

I need to be able to define the time difference between the post and replies, I thought of making a formula to minus the time after filtering, but i am not sure how to define that a thread reply belongs to a specific post. 

I would truly appreciate your help with this!

Hi @josephsultan 

In the data returned from the Slack trigger, there will be timestamps.

The Thread TS will be for the parent message.

If there those values are the same then, it’s a parent message.
