Reply to a Message Elegantly
Slack doesn’t support slash commands in threads, but you can still reply elegantly using a shortcut.
How to Reply Using Elegant Chat
The /chat command doesn’t work in threads due to Slack's limitations, not ours. To reply, use the message shortcut instead:
Hover over the message you want to reply to.
Look for the quick actions that appear in the upper right corner of the message.
Click the three vertical dots to access more options.
Select the Reply elegantly shortcut. If you don’t see it, click More message shortcuts... and find Reply elegantly in the list.
After selecting the Reply elegantly shortcut, a modal dialog will appear. You can override the default action and preview your message, just like when using the /chat command.
