FAQ

Questions about Send Message.

What does the Send Message action do in Chatwoot?
Posts a customer-facing reply (outgoing) or an internal team note (private). Routes via the conversation's originating channel by default. Useful for "AI-drafted response posted as private note for agent review" or for full-auto reply workflows on low-complexity tickets.
What inputs does Send Message require?
Required: Account ID, Conversation ID, Message. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Chatwoot returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Send Message support batch operations?
Yes. Run Send Message inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Chatwoot's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
