How can I start Hexchat minimized with the main window hidden?

Question

I added Hexchat IRC client to my startup applications. After logging into my session, it shows the main window which I would like to automatically hide and minimize it to its tray icon.

Will this help: https://askubuntu.com/q/663187/57576 ? – andrew.46 Dec 05 '17 at 07:59 — andrew.46, Dec 05 '17 at 07:59
