Hi, im having trouble filtering my conversation threads by **status** field (in documentation its called **threadStatus** ) Im using endpoint **conversations/v3/conversations/threads?threadStatus=OPEN** but getting results with **status: ‘CLOSED’** aswell. Also i noticed this API is still in BETA so maybe it has still some bugs.

Hi @JUrban78 👋 As far as I can tell, the _threadStatus_ query parameter is only applied if the _associatedContactId_ query parameter is also defined. I hope this proves useful. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions. ---

And why is it like that? I think its pretty reasonal and common usecase to have this functionality and return OPEN/CLOSED threads without providing _associatedContactId_ Are there any plans to implement this in near future? ---

I agree that the threadStatus parameter is useless as implemented for a large number of possible use cases. I’ve submitted the following Idea and tagged you on it. Hopefully it can go somewhere. In the meanwhile, I guess we have to implement the filtering in our business logic.

We’re considering this! Would love to hear more about your use cases for the \*why\* behind these sorts of filters and sorts here in this Developer Slack thread [Slack](https://hubspotdev.slack.com/archives/C2YHAHB6K/p1727274837457329) ---

Same. I expect GET [https://api.hubapi.com/conversations/v3/conversations/threads?threadStatus=OPEN](https://api.hubapi.com/conversations/v3/conversations/threads?threadStatus=OPEN) to get list of open threads. However, I’m getting a bunch of threads with a closed status in the response. It seems to be ignoring this filter. I lost an hour today trying to diagnose why I get closed threads when I filter on threadStatus=OPEN. Please fix this. It’s both useful and an obvious omission.
