Get the last reply in a thread

[stevengill]

Question, How do you know know a thread is complete? Do you want to respond to every message in the thread? Will there be like a emoji or some other means to indicate that your app should run? Are you going to do it time based?

hello @stevengill, I just want to reply to the last message, in this case it is a link, when the user clicks on a react emoji, the hubot will take the last sentence of the thread and put in a variable

@miltlima How about doing like this? I haven't verified if it actually works but doing similar should work for you.

  # listen to all incoming messages
  robot.hear /.*/, (res) ->
    if res.message.thread_ts?
      # do something here

The above code example is a combination of examples in this document: https://slack.dev/hubot-slack/basic_usage Refer to the document for more information.

Thanks @seratch for explanation !

I used a Slack API response function with an index for the 3rd thread message and solved

const replies = await app.conversations.replies({
        channel: msg.message.item.channel,
        ts: msg.message.item.ts
      })
      const infoUrl = await getInfoFromUrl(replies.messages[2].text);```
