I’m trying to set up a zap to pull all the messages in a thread, combine the text and or, just summarize the the text across all the messages and post it back to the original thread.
Please help me!

How to retrieve and summarize all Slack messages in a thread

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.

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

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

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