A CommunityThread represents a conversation posted to the Discussion Board. Discussion boards are a community feature that allows customers to communicate on the Members Portal — they can start, follow, like, and reply to conversations, mention other customers, and receive notifications about new messages. Conversations can be assigned to a group (CommunityGroupId) to control who can see and contribute. Conversations not linked to any group are visible to all customers with access to the Discussion Boards page. Use Tags to help customers find relevant conversations. Set Private to true to limit visibility to only the customers explicitly mentioned in the message. Enable InstantDelivery to push notifications to followers immediately rather than waiting for the daily digest.
