Example
How it works
CHATFLOW_SEND_MESSAGE sends a text message to the user during a Chatflow conversation. Set the message to the text you want to send; the node dispatches it to the user over whichever channel the session is running on (WhatsApp or Slack) and returns message_sent: true. Use it for greetings, questions, and confirmations between WAIT_FOR_USER_RESPONSE steps.
Example
Scenario: Greet the user and ask the first question in a qualification Chatflow.
- At the start of the Chatflow, add a CHATFLOW_SEND_MESSAGE node with
messageset to "Hi! What's your company name?". - The node sends the greeting to the user on their channel.
- Follow it with a WAIT_FOR_USER_RESPONSE node to capture the reply.
CHATFLOW_SEND_MESSAGE ("Hi! …") ──► WAIT_FOR_USER_RESPONSEThis node runs only inside a Chatflow graph.
