How to Permalink Back to a Slack Thread Using "Slack" as a Trigger Event?

Hello. When using “Slack” as a trigger event, there’s nothing in the event or context that would allow me to permalink back to the Slack thread. Anyone found a workaround for this?

Usually Slack uses the ts aka timestamp for the message as the primary key.

You might be able to reverse engineer a way to build a link from a message, or perhaps there’s a Slack API call to do so.

I advise checking the Slack API docs for more details.

That’s an interesting thought. Thanks!

Though having this resolved into the context object would be ideal, this is a nice workaround.
