Threads Feed
The Threads feed is your workspace's discovery surface for all threads you have access to: threads you are a member of (in your inbox) and public threads. It shows you what's happening across the workspace — conversations you can read, reply to, and add to your inbox — without requiring you to be subscribed to every thread in advance.
Think of it this way: your Inbox is for your most important threads that you are actively notified on. The Threads feed is everything else you can catch up on in your own time.
Getting there
The Threads feed is available on desktop in the left nav, and the Threads tab in the bottom navigation on mobile.
What you'll see
Each row in the feed shows a thread with:
- Thread visibility — whether it's public to the workspace (thread icon) or private to members (lock icon)
- Thread name and preview (depending on which viewing mode you're in)
- Members — the groups or people the thread was sent to
- Reply count and last activity timestamp
- Unread state — threads with messages you haven't read appear with a bold title
Manage your threads feed view
You can control the threads view in multiple ways to find what you're looking for.
Searching
Quickly narrow down the threads view without having to go into a full search. Searching in the threads feed currently only matches thread name. If you need to do a deeper full message search you should still use the search bar or Glue AI.
Filtering
Filter the threads view to a specific group to see all public threads sent to that group, or if you're a member of the group you will see all public and private threads. You can also switch between workspace views here. You can change your workspace as well to filter to groups in that workspace.
Sorting
| Sort option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Date created | Shows threads in the order they were started, newest first |
| Recently updated | Surfaces threads with the most recent activity at the top |
Viewing density options
You can control how much information each thread row displays using the density toggle in the top-right corner of the feed. There are three options:
| View | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Comfortable (default) | A balanced view with thread title, recipients, reply count, and a snippet of recent activity |
| Compact | A condensed list — useful when you want to scan more threads at once |
| Detailed | An expanded view with detailed cards for each thread. |
Adding threads to your inbox
When you find a thread in the feed that you want to stay on top of, you can add it to your inbox. Once it's in your inbox, you'll be notified of new messages on that thread directly.
To add a thread to your inbox: press the plus (+) icon in the threads feed or when you have the thread open you can click the ellipsis to get the thread menu and choose add to inbox.
To remove a thread from your inbox: in your inbox, hover over the thread name and select Mute and hide from inbox. Or, with the thread open, click the ellipsis to get the thread menu and select Mute from inbox. The thread will no longer deliver to you, but it will still be discoverable in the Threads feed.
Note: Adding a thread to your inbox doesn't change who can see the thread — it only affects whether new activity on that thread shows up in your personal inbox.

A note on thread visibility
The Threads feed only shows public threads — conversations that are visible to your whole workspace. Private threads (those sent only to specific people or groups you're not part of) won't appear here unless you are a member on that thread.
If you're mentioned in a thread, it will be delivered directly to your inbox rather than waiting for you to find it in the feed.
