❓ FAQ

Q: Can I use this with FIFO queues?

A: Yes! Both nodes work with Standard and FIFO SQS queues. For FIFO queues, make sure to provide Message Group ID.

A: The Send node automatically loads all queues from your AWS account using the configured credentials. Simply select from the dropdown.

Q: Can I send workflow input data directly?

A: Yes! Enable "Send Input Data" and the node will automatically send your workflow input data as JSON message body.

Q: What happens if a message send fails?

A: The node will return an error, but you can enable "Continue on Fail" to handle this gracefully and continue processing other items.

Q: Can I add custom message attributes?

A: Yes! Use the "Message Attributes" option in "Additional Options" to add custom attributes as JSON.
