slack thread responses

[proper plinth]

How can I make my claw respond in threads in slack? Now it just spams multiple messages in the same channel

Yep, Slack defaults to replyToMode: "off", so it will post top-level unless you turn threading on.

Use this in your config:

{
  channels: {
    slack: {
      replyToModeByChatType: {
        channel: "all", // keep channel replies in the Slack thread
        group: "all",   // optional, for MPIMs
        direct: "off"   // optional, keep DMs normal
      }
    }
  }
}

If you want it globally for Slack, this also works:

{
  channels: {
    slack: {
      replyToMode: "all"
    }
  }
}

Then restart the gateway:

openclaw gateway restart
