Hi guys!

My goal is to create a pipeline that would run in a CI system to make sure that we aren’t forgetting or leaving threads without replies.

Is there an ‘easy’ way to do this? What I mean to ask is if there is a way to exclude admin users from an endpoint (`client.topics_by`) or does anyone have an existing solution for something similar already? 🙂

Have you tried using the search with the “`status:noreplies`” term?
