Any messages you or your team sends on the slack thread will show up in Plain, along with their reactions, mentions and attachments. You can respond either via Slack or directly through Plain.

When a discussion is started, Plain will post a message with a "Resolve discussion" button. That can be used by anyone to signal that the discussion is concluded and the Plain thread will be moved back to Todo.
When a discussion is started, Plain will post a message with a "Resolve discussion" button. That can be used by anyone to signal that the discussion is concluded and the Plain thread will be moved back to the "Close the loop" status – nudging your team to update the customer.

To enable this functionality, you will need to setup your [Slack integration](/slack) and add the Plain bot to your channel.

<Warning>
When Plain is added to a channel, we automatically classify it as a [Customer channel](/slack) if it's a _Slack Connect_ channel or one for internal discussions otherwise.

For customer channels, we treat messages from non-Plain users as support requests, which are ingested as threads into Plain.

For good data hygiene, we don't start discussions on all links to a Plain thread.
We will not start a discussion if:

- the link is posted by someone who is not a user in Plain.
- the link is posted in a private channel Plain doesn't have access to.
- the link is posted in a customer channel (typically _Slack Connect_), although you can always adjust this from your Slack settings.

If you want to opt out completely, you can disable thread discussions and link unfurling in your Slack integration settings.
