Heres the rundown. I’m trying to set up a Zap that does the following:Trigger: New reaction added in Slack Action: Create Issue in Jira Action: Send a canned message within a thread or create one (if one does not exist) to the original message where the emoji reaction was added to. The problem: The canned message is being sent to the channel and not starting a threaded reply as specified. Any input is much appreciated!

Send Slack canned message in thread from trigger (emoji reaction)

Heres the rundown. I’m trying to set up a Zap that does the following:

Trigger:
1. New reaction added in Slack
Action:
1. Create Issue in Jira
Action:
1. Send a canned message within a thread or create one (if one does not exist) to the original message where the emoji reaction was added to.

The problem: The canned message is being sent to the channel and not starting a threaded reply as specified. Any input is much appreciated!
