We are building a chat app where we want to support threaded conversation to maintain context just like popular apps like Slack or Discord. Does Twilio chat APIs support that?
I did find a reference to this in their documents but not enough details for how best to manage this in our app.
Out of the box Twilio Chat doesn't support any form of threaded conversation.
This would require a custom implementation that will vary depending on the use case but could use the attributes property of messages to maintain a context to compare against. For example, messages may contain an attribute "parentId" that allows you to identify related content, this may be an ID you generate or the SID's produced by Twilio.
