Overview
This node allows sending chat messages to a specific user within an AnywhereWorks account. It is useful for automating communication workflows, such as notifying users about updates, alerts, or personalized messages directly through the AnywhereWorks platform.
A practical example would be automatically sending a welcome message to a new user after they register, or pushing real-time notifications about task assignments or system events.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Account ID | The unique identifier of the AnywhereWorks account where the message will be sent. |
| User ID | The unique identifier of the user who will receive the message. |
| Message | The text content of the message to send to the specified user. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the AnywhereWorks API after attempting to send the message. This typically includes confirmation details such as message ID, status, timestamps, or error information if the request failed.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active API authentication token configured in n8n credentials to access the AnywhereWorks API.
- The node makes HTTP POST requests to the AnywhereWorks endpoint
https://access.anywhereworks.com/account/{accountId}/chat/user/{userId}/message. - Proper network connectivity and valid account/user IDs are necessary for successful operation.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Account or User ID: If the provided account or user ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will likely return an error. Verify these IDs before running the node.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authorization failures. Ensure the API key or OAuth2 token is correctly set up in n8n.
- Message Content Issues: Sending empty or malformed messages may result in errors. Confirm that the message string is properly formatted and non-empty.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the AnywhereWorks API. Check your internet connection and firewall settings.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests might trigger rate limiting by the API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
