FAQ

Questions about Send Message.

What does the Send Message action do in Webex?
Sends a message to a Webex space or to a person directly, with Markdown support and optional Adaptive Card attachments. The default Webex notification action.
What inputs does Send Message require?
Send Message has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.
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 Webex 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 Webex's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
