Overview

This node operation sends a text message in a chat session. It is useful for automating chat communications, such as sending notifications, alerts, or conversational messages in messaging platforms. For example, it can be used to send a greeting message to a user or reply to a specific message in a chat.

Use Case Examples

  1. Sending a welcome message to a new user in a chat session.
  2. Replying to a user's query with a text message automatically.

Properties

Name Meaning
Session The chat session identifier to send the message in.
Chat Id The identifier of the chat where the message will be sent.
Reply To The ID of the message to reply to, allowing the new message to be linked as a reply.
Text The text content of the message to be sent.
Link Preview Whether to enable or disable link preview in the message.
Request Options Additional options for the request such as batching, SSL handling, proxy, and timeout settings.

Output

JSON

  • messageId - The ID of the sent message.
  • status - The status of the message sending operation.
  • chatId - The chat identifier where the message was sent.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential or authentication token to connect to the chat service.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the session and chatId are valid and active to avoid message sending failures.
  • If the message fails to send, check network connectivity and proxy settings if used.
  • Timeout errors may occur if the server is slow or unresponsive; adjust the timeout setting accordingly.
  • SSL certificate errors can be bypassed by enabling the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option, but this is insecure and should be used cautiously.
