# Thread Engagement Reminder

> Enable automatic nudges to encourage thread-first behavior and keep channels tidy.

## How it works (and what people will see)

When enabled, the Thread Engagement Reminder posts a short, friendly reply in a thread to nudge thread-first conversation, but only in a specific scenario.

It will show up when:

* The same person posts again in the same channel within 60 seconds of their previous message, and the follow-up is not a threaded reply

What it does:

* Posts a concise, helpful message as a reply under the original message's thread
* Encourages continuing the conversation in that thread to keep the channel tidy
* Never blocks messages; it only nudges

It will not show up when:

* The follow-up is posted as a thread reply
* More than 60 seconds have passed since the person's previous message in that channel

Example response (actual text may vary):
