Hi , I am exploring on the Human in the loop. Here Can we send the request approval message to slack thread instead of posting it as a new channel message.
Question
Can we send Human in the Loop approval messages to a Slack thread instead of a new channel?

Hi
You can try this approach:
The Two-Zap Setup
Zap 1:
-
In your main Zap, add a Human in the Loop - Request Approval or Collect Data action.
-
In the Notification section, set "Send to" to "Trigger a Zap" instead of "Slack" or "Email" .
Zap 2:
-
Create a new, separate Zap.
-
For its Trigger, select Human in the Loop and the New Approval Requested event .
-
For its Action, select Slack - Send Channel Message .
-
In the Slack action's "Thread" field, map the
ts(timestamp) of the parent message you want to reply to . -
In the message content, include the URL of the first Zap's run so the reviewer can click it to take action .

Hope this helps you get it sorted!
