Thanks so much for all your work here @mcdanlj - this is now merged:

FEATURE: Enable optional support for threading slack posts (#38)

committed 03:45PM - 15 Jun 20 UTC

When creating a new Discourse post from slack with the `post` feature, record th…e slack `ts` thread ID for the resulting topic post using an HTML comment to pass the `ts` through. When notifying slack of new Discourse posts, record the slack `ts` thread ID in the post's topic if it has not yet been recorded. (Normally, this will be done for the topic post, except where notifications are being posted for old topics before this feature was created.) Add a new rule filter `thread` which posts threaded responses to slack if there is a `ts` recorded for the post topic. Modify the `trigger_notifications` interface to enable other integrations to implement similar functionality. Present the `thread` rule in the help text and admin UI only for the slack providers. https://meta.discourse.org/t/optionally-threading-posts-to-parent-topic-in-slack-integration/150759
