I've setup a custom slash commands /news witihn slack and it works fine but I can't find a way to use trigger slash commands via threads.

I get the following error: /news is not supported in threads. Sorry!

i've looked through the slack api documentation and i can't seem to find it. I know its possible because I have the /giphy app installed and I can use that in threads.

I found this article but it was not really helpful. https://medium.com/slack-developer-blog/bringing-your-bot-into-threaded-messages-cd272a42924f

Any advice is welcome.

If this question is related to Javascript, you should probably add some code to not get deleted. - Rojo
@Rojo thank you for the comment. Not sure what code to add since the issue is generic. I'll remove the javascript tag. - Skywalker
Well if you don't really have any code, then this isn't a coding question. Try finding answers on Slack Forums or super user. - Rojo

It's not possible to add app slash commands to a thread. Giphy is special cased in the codebase, which is why it works.
