Hello everyone, i’m trying to get thread replies from discord but i can’t seem to differentiate normal forum messages from threads, the export values don’t have defining properties

attached are screenshot of my flow with the export or the new_thread trigger

looking forward to getting help with this, thank you.

Hey , from what I understand, you’re trying to have 2 flows in your workflow:

  1. when the event is from thread trigger, get thread reply and do remaining actions
  2. when the event is new message, just do remaining actions
    Am I understand correctly?

yes , you are correct.

  1. when it is from new message => forward as normal,
  2. when it is from thread, then forward at thread reply as a comment on telegram channel

what i have done with the data store is to store the initial message’s id and compare the thread reply to know where to place the reply on telegram

The issue i am having is that there is no property in the thread reply trigger that indicates the message is actually coming from a thread
I wonder if there is an actual way to do this without much hassle

update: i have been able to differentiate new messages from threads by checking if the id is already in the data store, but now i want to forward the thread message to telegram as a comment under the original message in the public channel

Hey , is it easier to just create 2 separate workflows to handle event from each of your workflow separately?

i want to forward the thread message to telegram as a comment under the original message in the public channel
Could you try to use the Original Message ID prop?

Hello i am currently using this and it is working well but the messages are forwarded as replies to the original message, what i want to do is have the thread messages as comments on the original message in the public channel

Hey > comments on the original message in the public channel
I’m not sure about this “comments” feature, could you share the official document on this feature?

what i mean by comment is this, attached below image, the replies should be added here, not as just a reply to the messages

on a different issue, i am having issues with X(twitter) authentication on pipedream, haven’t had much help from support about this, wondering if you could help with this, thanks

Hi , we disabled X(twitter) because X has disabled our integration. As of now, we don’t have any update on it yet.

oh! that explains the issues i have been having
