Using webhooks to post text, no way to get `ts` id.

[dooglio]

I was examining your "Incoming Webhooks" documentation, because I'm interested in automating a post to a channel, followed by threading automated replies.

I was having a look here: https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks#threads

The docs mention that all I need is the ts id so I can set the thread_ts field so the post will thread under the parent post. The problem is, when I post a message using the webhook URL, I only get a plaintext ok back. How do I obtain the ts id of the parent post? Your docs kind of gloss over that part. Unless I'm missing something?
