Hi @Jesse.Pilarski 

Have you tried using the Slack AI to summarize a thread?

Help: https://slack.com/help/articles/25076892548883-Guide-to-Slack-AI

I’m trying to make a hacky way around that because it’s a very expensive feature to enable. 

@Jesse.Pilarski 

Did you try using this Zap action: Slack - Retrieve Thread Messages

Yeah, fiddled around with that yesterday, but I can’t use that zap to send the message data to an AI tool to summarize the text because the output is unavailable/greyed out.

 

@Jesse.Pilarski 

Did you test Zap step 2?

I managed to get it working.  

The issue was that the test kept failing because Zapier's default 'Hi' message doesn't include a thread. I resolved this by specifying a message from my company's Slack organization that was part of a thread.

 

Yay! So pleased you got this sorted @Jesse.Pilarski. And thanks so much for coming back here to share what the solution was, we really appreciate it! 

Seems like you’re all set for now but if not, just reach back out to the Community and we’ll be happy to help. In the meantime, happy Zapping!
