Description

As an EmbeddedChat developer

Any user should be able to send a preview of a thread message if they feel it's necessary for everyone to look at.

I need to:
Give a checkbox option which enables the user to send a preview of the thread message in main chat flow.

So That:
Important discussions in the thread messages do not go unnoticed.

This feature is already implemented in the Rocket.chat repository.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Enabling the checkbox should send a preview of the thread message in the main channel
  • UI for sequential threadPreview and not sequential should be handled.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing thread-message UI and the main chat message flow in EmbeddedChat, then compare the referenced Rocket.Chat implementation. Trace how the threadPreview state is represented for sequential and non-sequential messages; done means the checkbox sends the selected thread message preview into the main channel in both cases.
