Start a thread in a channel or on a message, or a post in a forum.
When and how to use it
Connect the input from the preceding step on the path that should perform this operation.
Fill the fields with data available in the trigger's context.
Connect the needed outputs; an unconnected path cannot run later blocks.
Configuration fields
Channel or forum (blank = current) — channel
Choose the channel this block targets or filters. Use its Discord ID or a supported channel variable. Check channel overrides for the bot.
Input: Text.
Default: ``.
Thread name — name
The name used by this action. Command names, variable keys and channel names follow different rules; read the block purpose before reusing a name.
Input: Text with variable suggestions.
Default:
New thread.Type — threadType
Type of thread/post to create. Match it to the parent channel: a forum post is not a message thread in an ordinary text channel.
Input: Fixed choice.
Default:
public.Available choices (preserve the exact value):
public — Public threadprivate — Private thread (invite only)Hide after inactivity — autoArchive
Select the inactivity interval after which Discord archives the thread. It does not schedule deletion of the thread.
Input: Fixed choice.
Default:
1440.Available choices (preserve the exact value):
60 — 1 hour1440 — 24 hours4320 — 3 days10080 — 1 weekAttach to message ID (optional) — messageId
Use the ID of the specific message, not its text, author or channel ID. Keep the message's channel context consistent.
Input: Text.
Default: ``.
First message (forum posts need one) — content
Enter message text and supported {variables}. Keep secrets out of visible output. Message layout is configured separately in the message editor when available.
Input: Text with variable suggestions.
Default: ``.
Store as — storeAs
Choose a short result prefix such as result. Later blocks must use this same prefix and run after this block. It is not a Discord channel or a persistent table.
Input: Text.
Default:
thread.Outputs and next steps
out: Continue to the next step.Read the result after this block, using its configured prefix and the fields supported by the selected operation. Do not assume every response has a text or id field.
Test and troubleshoot
Check caller permissions, bot permissions, channel overrides and role hierarchy separately. Test delete/ban/permission changes in a dedicated server rather than against production data.
