Confluence bot slack integration - noise reduction

[John McLoone]

I have a confluence page linked to a slack channel and set to only notify on comments on the page and child pages. 

My question is possibly more of a slack question but I felt I should start here to be sure.

Is there anyway to modify those notifications so that they form threads on slack rather than a separate message each time. Threads would need to contain any further comments within a short time window relating to the same page by any user. 

Is this possible?

Hi @John McLoone 

Unfortunately, the native Confluence-Slack integration doesn't currently offer the ability to automatically create threads for comments on a specific page. From: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=confluence%20slack there is a various options for these applications. Feel free to test them, of course if you have the time for it.

Hi @John McLoone, 

We have a similar requirement and are now building our own app in Slack that allows us to post page updates within a thread. The also helps avoid cluttering the main channel.
