Overview

This node operation retrieves messages from a specified group in an admin-only context. It is useful for administrators who need to access group messages for monitoring, auditing, or management purposes. For example, an admin can use this node to fetch recent messages from a group to review conversations or gather data for reporting.

Use Case Examples

1. An admin wants to fetch the last 50 messages from a group to monitor discussions.
2. A group admin needs to retrieve messages for compliance checks or to export chat history.

Properties

Output

JSON

• messages - Array of messages retrieved from the specified group.
• groupId - The ID of the group from which messages were fetched.
• session - The session name used for the request.

Dependencies

• Requires an authenticated session to access group messages, typically via an API key or session token.

Troubleshooting

• If the group ID is invalid or the session is not authenticated, the node may fail to retrieve messages. Verify the group ID and session credentials.
• Timeout errors may occur if the server is slow to respond; adjust the timeout setting accordingly.
• If SSL certificate validation fails and the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option is not enabled, the request will be blocked. Enable this option only if you trust the source.
• Proxy settings must be correctly configured if a proxy is required; incorrect proxy details will cause connection failures.
