New: Slack Thread Messages in CloudFlow Notifications
CloudFlow notification nodes now support threaded Slack messages — post a summary to the channel and automatically follow up with detailed information in the thread.
What's new
When configuring a Slack notification node, you'll see a new Thread Message field below the main message. If you add content there, CloudFlow will:
- Post your main message to the Slack channel
- Automatically reply in a thread with the detailed follow-up
If you leave the thread message empty, notifications work exactly as before — just a single message to the channel.
Why use threads?
- Keep channels clean — post a brief alert to the channel, then put the full breakdown (cost tables, resource lists, detailed findings) in the thread where those who need the details can find them
- Organize related data — separate the "what happened" summary from the "here's everything you need to know" details
- Reduce noise — team members see the headline without being overwhelmed by data-heavy content
Full message formatting support
Both the main message and the thread message support all of CloudFlow's rich formatting options:
- Tables — rendered as native Slack tables with bold headers
- Lists — bullet points with nested indentation
- Buttons — clickable action buttons with URLs
- Images — embedded image blocks
- Links — inline clickable links
How to get started
- Open any Slack notification node in your CloudFlow
- Write your main channel message as usual
- Add your detailed content in the new Thread Message field
- Save and test — you'll see both messages appear in Slack, neatly organized
This is a fully backward-compatible addition. Your existing notification nodes continue to work without any changes.
