Twist

Twist async team messaging actions

Twist is Doist's async-first team messaging app — built around threads inside channels rather than Slack-style fast-flowing chat, on the bet that fewer interruptions produce better thinking. Tiny Command exposes five actions, no triggers (Twist's outbound integrations are configured per-channel in the Twist UI; for event-driven workflows, configure a Twist integration that POSTs to a Tiny Command webhook trigger URL): Create Channel, Delete Channel, List Channels, Create Thread (the standard "start a new conversation in this channel"), and Post Comment (reply to an existing thread). The connection uses Twist OAuth. Twist's thread-based model is the right fit for workflows that need a durable conversation rather than ephemeral chat — for example, a deploy workflow that opens a new thread per release with the changelog as the first post, and downstream comments from monitoring add to the same thread. The model intentionally discourages "everything in a single channel" which makes the thread-per-event pattern feel natural.

Actions

Do anything Twist can do, from a workflow.

Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.

ActionWhat it does
Create ChannelCreates a new Twist channel in the workspace with name, description, and color. Twist favors topic-oriented threaded discussion over realtime chat.
Create ThreadStarts a new thread inside a Twist channel with a title and opening message. Threads are the primary unit of conversation in Twist (one topic per thread).
Delete ChannelPermanently deletes a Twist channel and all of its threads. Irreversible; gate behind a confirmation step.
List ChannelsLists every channel in the chosen Twist workspace. Use to build a channel picker before posting a thread or comment.
Post CommentPosts a comment to an existing Twist thread, with Markdown support and optional attachments. Used for sending automated status updates into an ongoing discussion.

Before you build

Three things worth knowing.

Filter at the trigger

Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Authorize once, reuse anywhere

Connect Twist once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.

No JSON to read

Every Twist field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.

Is the Twist integration real-time?
Twist actions execute synchronously inside your workflow. Tiny Command waits for Twist's API to confirm before continuing to the next step, so downstream nodes can rely on the result.
