Shoutout to for coming up with a great idea today to get users to post in a thread (something ALL of us have experienced frequently in Slack). Here’s our ballpark idea, but we wanted to get people’s thoughts on if they would find this useful: Phase I • If a user posts in the same channel within 1 minute of themselves… • Then post in the thread of the second message, “Please use threading” with a link to a Slack best practice in our documentation (or an external site) Phase II • Using AI :magic_wand: Evaluate if the second message is actually related to message one Please let us know in the thread. Feel like you will have ideas on this.

Shoutout to Steve S. for coming up with a great idea today to get users to post in a thread (something ALL of us have experienced frequently in Slack). Here’s our ballpark idea, but we wanted to get people’s thoughts on if they would find this useful: Phase I

If a user posts in the same channel within 1 minute of themselves…
Then post in the thread of the second message, “Please use threading” with a link to a Slack best practice in our documentation (or an external site)

Phase II

Using AI 🪄 Evaluate if the second message is actually related to message one

Please let us know in the thread. Kaela A. Joel P. Feel like you will have ideas on this.
