How Slack messages create threads in Plain

Everyone sends messages in Slack differently. Here’s a high-level breakdown of how Slack messages create threads in Plain:

1. Multiple messages in main channel - multiple messages sent subsequently in the main channel will be treated as one thread in Plain.

2. Messages in a Slack thread- All messages on a Slack thread will be mapped to the thread in Plain created by the message in the main channel.

3. Multiple messages in the main channel, separated by a thread - Once a Slack thread is created, the next message in the main channel will create a new thread in Plain.
