Overview

This node operation creates a new thread in a specified Discord channel. It supports creating a thread either from an existing message or as a standalone thread. Users can specify the thread's name, the channel ID where the thread will be created, an optional message ID to start the thread from, and the auto-archive duration for the thread. This operation is useful for organizing discussions within Discord channels by creating focused conversation threads.

Use Case Examples

  1. Creating a discussion thread in a project management channel to discuss a specific task.
  2. Starting a new thread from a message to keep related replies grouped together.

Properties

Name Meaning
Channel ID The ID of the Discord channel where the thread will be created.
Thread Name The name of the thread to be created.
Message ID Optional ID of the message to create the thread from; if empty, a standalone thread is created.
Auto Archive Duration Duration in minutes before the thread automatically archives (e.g., 1 hour, 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days).
Additional Fields Optional extra settings for the thread, such as embed JSON, TTS, reason for audit log, permissions, topic, NSFW flag, bitrate, user limit, invite settings, and more.

Output

JSON

  • id - ID of the created thread.
  • name - Name of the created thread.
  • type - Type of the thread channel.
  • archived - Whether the thread is archived.
  • autoArchiveDuration - Duration in minutes before the thread auto-archives.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the provided channel ID corresponds to a valid text-based Discord channel; otherwise, the node will throw a 'Channel not found or not text-based' error.
  • If a message ID is provided, it must exist in the specified channel; otherwise, thread creation from the message will fail.
  • Invalid JSON in the embed field will cause an error; ensure the JSON is correctly formatted.
  • Bot token must have appropriate permissions to create threads in the specified channel.
