FAQ

Questions about Create Thread.

What does the Create Thread action do in Twist?

Starts 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).

What inputs does Create Thread require?

Required: Channel ID, Title, First Message (Markdown). 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 Twist returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Create Thread support batch operations?

Yes. Run Create Thread inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Twist's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
