How do I create a Discord thread?

Short answer: You can create thread in Discord by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Discord Create Thread action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Thread.

What does the Create Thread action do in Discord?

Creates a new thread in a Discord channel, optionally attached to a source message. Used to keep topical discussion out of the main channel.

What inputs does Create Thread require?

Required: Channel ID, Thread Name, First Message. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Discord returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Discord returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Create Thread support batch operations?

Run Create Thread inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Discord's rate limits.
