Documented steps

  1. Thread from a message: POST /channels/{channel.id}/messages/{message.id}/threads with name (1-100 chars) — creates PUBLIC_THREAD on text channels, ANNOUNCEMENT_THREAD on announcement channels
  2. Standalone thread: POST /channels/{channel.id}/threads with name, optional type (defaults to PRIVATE_THREAD), optional invitable (private threads only: whether non-moderators can add other non-moderators)
  3. auto_archive_duration can be set to 60, 1440, 4320, or 10080 (minutes)
  4. Join a thread as the bot: PUT /channels/{channel.id}/thread-members/@me (204 on success)
  5. Add someone else: PUT /channels/{channel.id}/thread-members/{user.id} (204 on success)
  6. All with Authorization: Bot <token>
