Track Slack thread messages without replies

Hi!

I have a zap that tracks the messages in a private channel in slack

Then, it sets an Increment Value of 1 to every new message

And then I have a filter that proceeds only with the action if the Increment Value is more than 3 

The issue that I am facing is that
(1) I want slack to consider only the new posts for the Increment Value and not the replies in the thread. 
(2) I want to set the timeframe of the filter, for example, fire the action when we have more than 3 posts within 6 hours or 12 hours, and so on


Can someone help me out with this, please? Appreciate it in advance!

Hi @josephsultan 

For #1, check out this related topic:

 

For #2, you’d likely have to log these in a GSheet or Airtable with some additional calculations to check against.
