Slack POST /api/assistant.threads.setTitle endpoint removal

Deprecated, no dateSubscribe to SlackShare

Slack deprecated POST /api/assistant.threads.setTitle without giving a shutdown date yet.


Calls it hits

  • POST /api/assistant.threads.setTitle

What to use instead of these calls

Call agents.sessions.rename instead, moving the app from assistant_view to agent_view (Slack's migration guide).

The replacement comes with moving the app from the Assistant to the Agent messaging experience, a change of what its users see.

In Slack's words

The agents.sessions.setStatus and agents.sessions.rename API methods replace the assistant.threads.setStatus and assistant.threads.setTitle API methods, respectively. For now, your existing calls keep working through a compatibility bridge.
