FAQ

Questions about List Messages.

What does the List Messages action do in Unipile?

Lists messages in a specific Unipile conversation across the connected account types. Combined with List Conversations, gives you a cross-platform message history view.

What inputs does List Messages require?

Required: Chat ID. 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 Unipile 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 List Messages support batch operations?

Yes. Run List Messages inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Unipile's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
