New: Slack Thread Messages in CloudFlow Notifications

CloudFlow Slack notifications now support threaded messages, letting you post a summary to the channel and automatically follow up with details in the thread.

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:

  1. Post your main message to the Slack channel
  2. 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

  1. Open any Slack notification node in your CloudFlow
  2. Write your main channel message as usual
  3. Add your detailed content in the new Thread Message field
  4. 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.

Your cloud bill shouldn't be a mystery
