Bring Order and Clarity to Your Slack Channels

ThreadPatrol is a Slack app that keeps conversations tidy by detecting when a reply belongs in a thread and suggesting a one-click move, keeping channels clear and context intact. See How it works.

1. Invite: Add @Thread Patrol to any channel you want it to monitor.
2. Monitor: It observes new messages (ignores bots, its own posts, and threaded replies).
3. Suggest:
   • 15-Second Rule — if you post two messages in the same channel within 15 seconds, it suggests threading.
   • AI Similarity — uses Google Gemini to find contextually related discussions in recent channel activity.
4. Act: You get one-click buttons (“Move to…”, “Dismiss”).
5. Clean up: After a move, the bot posts a “Moved Here” notice and offers you a one-click “Clean Up Notice” option so you can tidy the channel. Learn more in How it works and Support.

No. All moves require the author’s confirmation. The bot never moves or deletes messages without the user’s explicit action. See our Terms of Service.

No. Nudges appear as threaded replies visible only to the message author, so channel flow stays uninterrupted. See Support.

Common reasons: the message was already in a thread, it was sent by a bot, there wasn’t enough recent context for a confident match, or the 15-second rule didn’t apply. See Support.

Slack provides threads, search, and Slack AI for summarization/answers, but it doesn’t detect mis-threaded replies or coach users in-flow.

ThreadPatrol adds:

• Real-time detection & coaching: catches stray replies and nudges authors to thread.
• Precision parent-matching: 15-second heuristic + semantic AI.
• Lightweight cleanup flows: keeps channels readable.
• Complement to Slack AI: Better thread hygiene → cleaner context → higher-quality Slack AI search and summaries. ThreadPatrol structures the conversation; Slack AI then reasons over a cleaner signal. See How it works.

No. It only operates in channels where it’s explicitly invited. It cannot read DMs or private channels unless you add it there. Admins remain in full control of scope. See our Privacy Policy.

No. Message text is processed ephemerally to perform similarity checks and then discarded. We store minimal operational metadata (IDs, timestamps, move relationships) to enable the “move” and cleanup features. See Privacy Policy.

We send only the minimum necessary text to Google Cloud Vertex AI (Gemini) for classification under configurations that do not allow training on your data. Enterprise options include private/BYO LLM endpoints. See Privacy Policy.

Operational data is hosted on AWS (eu-west-1), with TLS in transit, KMS at rest, strict IAM, and encrypted secrets (AWS SSM Parameter Store). EU-only processing and BYO-LLM are available for enterprises. See Privacy Policy.

• Install info (OAuth tokens, bot IDs): kept while installed; deleted on uninstall.
• Operational metadata (thread links, recent context, move maps): auto-expires (~90 days TTL) and is also removed on uninstall.
• Error logs: may include short snippets if an error occurs; auto-deleted (~30 days).
• Message text: not stored (ephemeral only). See Privacy Policy.

No, unless you invite it to those spaces. Most customers add it only to selected public channels. See Privacy Policy.

The bot degrades gracefully: it falls back to recency-only heuristics or coaching-only mode until services restore. See Support.

Uninstalling the app triggers deletion of install info and workspace-scoped metadata from active databases; TTL policies also expire older items automatically. For requests, contact Support.

Your use is governed by our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We support GDPR, provide EU SCCs and DPIA templates, and offer enterprise controls (SAML/SCIM, customer-managed keys, audit logs, EU processing).

Yes. As part of our public launch, all ThreadPatrol features are currently available for free. See Terms of Service and Support.

Yes. ThreadPatrol works on Slack Free. Note that Slack Free has limits on the number of apps/bots you can install; if you’ve hit your cap, remove an unused app or consider upgrading your Slack plan. See Support.

Install from the Slack App Directory, then /invite @Thread Patrol into channels you want monitored. Steps in Support and How it works.

Admins install it; everyday users see simple, in-context nudges and can act with one click. See Support.

Absolutely. Most teams pilot in 1–2 channels, then roll out workspace-wide once value is proven. Quick tips in Support.

No training required. The UI is self-explanatory, and adoption typically happens within a day. See Support.

• Cuts reply sprawl and broadcast pings
• Preserves context for search and knowledge reuse
• Reduces duplicate questions and rework
• Reinforces thread discipline without heavy-handed enforcement

More in How it works.

• Tech scale-ups with public-channel culture
• Agencies with client channels
• Support/incident teams (lower MTTR)
• Enterprises that need governance and compliance

Teams typically see a 25–45% reduction in channel clutter, faster onboarding, and improved knowledge retrieval within weeks. See Support.

ThreadPatrol is purpose-built for thread discipline, combining context-aware detection, non-punitive nudges, and enterprise-grade controls (SAML/SCIM, BYO keys/LLM, EU processing). See Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
