This action cannot be used for forum channels! For forum thread creation, use discord API .
The Create a Thread block enables you to create threads within your server through commands or events.
Each created thread has a unique variable that you can use to reference the thread in your command and can be identified by just looking for {created_thread_xyz}.
To create the thread, you need to specify what channel you are going to create the thread in. There is three provided options to achieve this.
This is an optional option (public is default), and it is the type of thread that you want to create. You can choose from 3 types of thread types.
Public Thread
This type of thread is public which means it can be viewed by everyone in the server or everyone who has access to the channel it is in.
Private Thread
This is the opposite of the Public Thread type which means it can't be viewed by everyone.
Announcement Thread
This thread works similar to an announcement channel, any message in this thread can be published.
This is an optional field, and it is the time in which the thread will auto-archive itself. You can choose from 4 options:
One Hour
One Day
Three Days
One Week
This option is only valid if the thread type is a Private Thread. This field is optional and it allows you to toggle whether a non-moderator can invite other users to the thread.
You can now access various variables from the created thread and use them throughout your custom command (as long as it is in the same interaction).
You can use these variables by just adding them to the end of the {created_thread_abcd} variable, but before the }. The 4 characters "abcd" are shown in your create thread block at the top.
An example to get the name would be like this: {created_thread_48f3.name}.

Enable Success / Error Handles to detect success and errors inside of the action block. This allows you to run different actions if something goes wrong with your action. Inside of the handle, there are 2 different paths which are used to detect the outcome of the action. The green path on the bottom left side of the block indicates success, while the red path on the bottom right side of the block indicates error. You may attach action blocks to each side of the handle to get the outcome of your action block.
