Start a discussion

Open a Slack or email side-conversation attached to an existing thread.

Opening a discussion attaches a new side-conversation to an existing thread. The type determines where messages are exchanged:

• SLACK: posts a new Slack thread in a connected Slack channel. Requires slackDetails.connectedSlackChannelId.
• EMAIL: sends a new email to one or more recipients. Requires emailDetails.toAddresses.

For TypeScript, the GraphQL SDK gives you a fully typed client for these operations.

The markdownContent is the first message of the discussion. For Slack discussions you can also pass slackBlocks (a JSON-encoded Slack Block Kit array) to render rich content in Slack; markdownContent remains the fallback rendered in Plain.
