Configuration Options

When you add a Chat Node, you will see the following fields in parameters:
  • Chat Node ID: A system-generated unique identifier for the node. This value is read-only and can be copied and saved for later use.
  • Select Channel: Choose the chat platform you want to track — e.g., Slack, MS Teams, Email.
  • Select Provider: From the dropdown, select a provider configured for the chosen channel.
  • Dynamic Provider: A toggle switch that allows you to use a provider dynamically at runtime. When enabled, the provider will be resolved using a variable or JSON path.
  • Channel ID or JSON Path: Enter the channel ID where the message should be sent. Alternatively, use a JSON path to dynamically fetch the channel ID from the input payload.
  • Select Maximum Chat Duration: Define the duration for how long the chat session should stay open. Specify the value in days, hours, and minutes.
  • Provider Integration Name or JSON Path (only visible when Dynamic Provider is enabled): Input the provider integration name or a JSON path to dynamically resolve the provider during execution.
