threadbot's Issues

You dont know who asked to use thread.

Bot warning when answering inside a thread

After creating a thread and have sent messages on that, thread bot keeps direct messaging users suggesting to use a thread.

https://prnt.sc/kad2t4

Seems the bot doesn't warning when I sending multiple messages under 30s

No action menu items

I just installed this slack app today. However, I see no action menu items. Any particular reason?

Limit actions, today i can ask how many times i want.

reminder if thread conclusion are not shared in main channel

My previous company encouraged threads, current company discourages it.
To change that, we need a mechanism to ensure people in channel don't miss on channel conversation.

We want something like https://slack.com/apps/AFZJ80A3Y-thread-bot

Can you add this functionality? if a thread conclusion is not shared in channel it will auto post the thread in channel.

So need something similar which periodically post in channel threads which are updated.

For some organisations its required that all people in channel are upto date with thread discussions.

Something which shares in channel threads which are updated in last 1 hour would be great.

Create a menu action that adds this reaction: 👀

Handle mentioning the @threadbot

@threadbot @otheruser should send the reply: @otheruser 👀

Heroku down

Hey, just wanted to let you know that right now the Heroku instance is not working. This bot would be so great, but unfortunately not possible to install right now. Do you plan on hosting it again?

Thank you!

Dynamic limit messages number

Is it possible to change the minimum messages for ThreadBot to notify the user so that it uses Thread?

Copying messages to threads

Hey, love this bot; came across it when trying to find something with slightly different functionality.

In the situation where someone writes a reply in the main channel instead of in the thread, I want to be able to reply with e.g. /threadbot move to https://slack.com/link-to-thread. Ideally the bot would then copy the contents of the message (including any attachments) and make a new reply in the thread with those contents, suffixed by something like "said outside of thread by @PersonName at 3:15pm." It would then reply to the out-of-thread message with a link to the in-thread reply version of the message, and ask the person to delete their out-of-thread message.

Is this feasible and in scope for threadbot?

(Happy to write + PR this ourselves btw)
