Can I send an automated threaded message on Slack?

[Fouad El-Gendy]

I have created an automation to send a message on Slack from Sunday-Thursday.

Is there a way to schedule an automated reply message to be sent as a thread under the message sent previously?

Hi @Fouad El-Gendy 

I do not believe that is possible with the built-in automation Send Slack Message action.

Instead you could try to save the original message information (or find it) and then reply-in-thread with the Slack REST API, called using the Send Web Request action.

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks Bill, appreciate your response!

Here is a how-to article for calling a REST API endpoint from an automation rule:
