JourneysEarly access

A message that keeps the conversation going.

Ask a question, wait for the answer, and send each person down the right path. Journeys are branching, multi-step conversations that run inside Slack — and tell your team the moment someone is ready.

Why journeys

“We sent three messages” vs. “they told us what they need.”

A workflow is a straight line: it fires on a trigger and runs every step. A journey stops on the person it was sent to and carries on differently depending on what they did. The prospect says they want 500 seats — they get the enterprise pay link, and the deal channel knows.

Workflow

Trigger → step → step → done. Great for “when X happens, post Y”.

Journey

Ask → wait → branch → act. Every person gets the path their answers earn.

Building blocks

Ten steps. Endless paths.

Drag steps onto the canvas, connect the exits, and publish. Threadly checks the flow for dead ends before you go live.

Send a message

Post text, buttons or an image to the person.

Ask and wait

Offer choices and pause until they pick one — or follow up if they don’t.

Collect a form

Open a Slack form and continue with their answers.

Branch on an answer

Route people with rules on anything they’ve said so far.

Update a channel

Tell your team in their channel when someone is ready.

Wait a while

Pause for minutes or up to 90 days, then carry on.

Send a payment link

A per-person pay link, and the journey waits for it.

Call a webhook

Send the run to any system you already use.

Update the CRM

Write answers back to HubSpot fields.

End the journey

Finish the run and record the outcome.

Every person, tracked

Each send is a run. See who entered, where they are now, and what they last answered — the screen a rep lives in.

Clicked once, counted once

Buttons carry signed tokens and a double-click advances the journey exactly once — nobody is charged or messaged twice.

Same journey, Slack or web

Build on the web canvas or in the Slack builder. Both edit the same journey, and workflows can start one as a step.

Start from a template

Nine journeys, ready to clone.

Each one opens on the canvas so you can change the words, add steps, and publish.
