How to post a snippet to a slack thread

slack

I want to post a snippet to a thread in slack, not the main channel. I can't figure out how to do this in the Windows x64 client. Any thoughts? Is it possible in another client?

Best Answer

You are not directly shown the option to post a snippet or an image in a thread. But there is a workaround for this. Steps

  • Post the snippet/image in the channel or DM (I DM myself for this and delete it later)
  • Copy Link to snippet/image
  • Post the link in the desired thread. Slack shows a preview to the snippet/image in the thread itself as if it has been posted in the channel/DM as a normal snippet/image

Hope that helps!
