Overview

This node operation sends a link preview message in a chat session. It is useful for scenarios where you want to share a clickable link with a title in a chat conversation, such as sharing articles, product links, or any web URLs with a preview. For example, it can be used in customer support chatbots to send helpful links or in social media automation to share content previews.

Use Case Examples

  1. Sending a link preview to a customer in a support chat session.
  2. Sharing a news article link with a title in a group chat automatically.

Properties

Session The chat session identifier where the link preview will be sent.
Chat Id The identifier of the chat to which the link preview message will be sent.
Url The URL of the link to be previewed and sent in the chat.
Title The title text to display with the link preview.

Output

JSON

  • sentMessageId - The identifier of the sent link preview message.
  • status - The status of the send operation, e.g., success or failure.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the session and chatId values are correct and active; invalid IDs will cause failures.
  • Check network connectivity and proxy settings if requests time out or fail.
  • If SSL errors occur, consider enabling the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option cautiously.
  • Batching settings should be adjusted based on API rate limits to avoid throttling errors.
