Overview
This node allows you to create a new conversation in the Conversations API of ChatWoot. It is useful for automating customer support workflows by programmatically initiating conversations linked to specific inboxes and contacts. For example, you can use this node to start a chat session when a user submits a form on your website or when an event triggers a need to contact a customer.
