Bots and webhooks
Allow automated messages only after checking your full automation chain.
Messages from other bots and webhooks are ignored by default. You can allow them independently for each channel through /config autothread.
Loop risk
A loop can occur when a bot posts a message, Auto Threads creates a thread, and another automation posts back into the source channel. Review the whole chain before enabling the option.
Good practices
- Restrict allowed webhooks to the configured channel.
- Prevent automations from reacting to Auto Threads messages.
- Test with fictional content before opening the channel publicly.
- Disable the option immediately if one external action produces several threads.
Source-message uniqueness prevents duplicate internal processing, but it cannot stop two separate automations from replying to each other.
