Work with the Missive API

Actions12

Overview

This node operation creates a new post in the Missive platform. It allows users to compose posts with plain text, markdown content, and rich attachments, and to specify various conversation-related options such as threading references, conversation ID, subject, color, team and organization scoping, user access, labels, and notification settings. This is useful for automating communication workflows, posting updates, or integrating Missive posts into broader automation pipelines.

Properties

Name Meaning
Text (Plain) Plain text content of the post.
Markdown Markdown-formatted content of the post for rich text formatting.
Attachments One or more attachments to include in the post, each with optional binary data, file name, fields, color, author info, images, timestamps, and footer details.

Output

JSON

  • json
    • posts - The created post object returned from the Missive API, containing details of the new post.

Dependencies

  • Missive API with an API token credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure at least one of plain text, markdown, or attachments is provided; otherwise, the node throws an error indicating missing content.
  • Verify that binary data referenced in attachments exists and is correctly named; missing or incorrect binary property names will cause errors.
  • Check that the API token credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to create posts in the target Missive account.
  • If JSON parsing errors occur (not typical for this operation), verify input formatting especially in complex fields like attachments.
