Overview

This node operation retrieves an overview of chat sessions from a specified session name. It is useful for scenarios where users need to fetch a list or summary of chat conversations, such as monitoring chat activity, analyzing chat data, or integrating chat information into workflows. For example, a customer support system could use this to get recent chat sessions for review or reporting.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch the first 20 chat sessions from a given session to display recent conversations.
  2. Retrieve chat sessions with pagination by setting limit and offset to process large chat histories in batches.

Properties

Name Meaning
Session The name of the chat session to retrieve the overview for.
Limit The maximum number of chat sessions to return in the overview.
Offset The number of chat sessions to skip before starting to collect the overview results.
Request Options Additional request settings such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy configuration, and request timeout.

Output

JSON

  • chats - Array of chat session overview objects returned from the specified session.
  • totalCount - Total number of chat sessions available for the given session.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential or authentication token to access the chat service API.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues include invalid session names resulting in no data returned or errors.
  • Timeout errors may occur if the server is slow or unresponsive; increasing the timeout setting can help.
  • SSL certificate validation errors can be bypassed by enabling the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option, but this reduces security.
  • Proxy misconfiguration can cause request failures; ensure proxy settings are correct.
