How do I send a Rocket.Chat message?

Short answer: You can rocket.chat send message in Rocketchat by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Rocketchat Rocket.Chat Send Message action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
