How do I auto-reply in a specific Slack-message-thread?

To clearify what I want to do. 

  1. In Slack, there is a channel called "Serbia-production."
  2. In the Slack channel named "Serbia-production," there is already a message named "BLV@BLV.SE."
  3. In the Slack message "BLV@BLV.SE," we communicate through its built-in thread about the project.
  4. When a project is completed, I want an automatic text reply message to be sent to the thread above.
  5. We only communicate about specific clients in specific threads under specific messages in a specific channel.
  • I want a specific threaded message to be sent to that specific thread through an auto-reply to the thread.

    I cannot see that there is a Zapier/Slack automation for this.
    The message should be in a specific message thread located in a specific channel.

    ​​​​​​​How can I solve this?

Try these Zap steps.

  1. Trigger: Trello - Card Moved to List
  2. Action: Slack - Find Message
  3. Action: Slack - Send Channel Message
    1. Use the Thread ID

Hi @Rojhat Telo Bygglovsverket 

Good question.

What indicates the project is completed?

Hi! So the example above is an typical way we communicate about everyprojekt woth the mail name. But the. Slack channel is always the same, but diff message(name@mail.com). 
 

When a card is moves in trello, the trigger is the indacator of that the project is finished.
