Start a thread

Discuss any given topic with your teammates by starting a new thread inside a channel. Have an idea? Need feedback? Want to make an announcement? Start a thread. You can attach files, notify the relevant people, and format the post the way you like it. Here's how:

Note

Everyone who has joined the channel will be able to see and search for your thread, but only the people you notify will see the new thread as unread in their Inbox.

  1. Open the channel you want to post in.
  2. Click New thread in the top-right corner.
  3. Click the Tag field and type the name of the person or group you want to notify (you’ll only be able to find and select people who have joined that particular channel). Select the names of the people or groups you want to notify.
  4. Add the Thread title so everyone knows what your thread is about.
  5. Write the initial post.
  6. (Optional) Add files to the post.
  7. When you’re done, click Post in the bottom-right corner.

Quick tip

If you're using Twist on a computer, you can use our composer to format your post (bold, italics, bullet points, hyperlinks, add images inline, etc.). If you're using Twist on mobile or macOS, you can use Markdown to format your post.
