[Post message in a chat or channel]: Use outputs or function in Group tchat selection

Hi,

Is it possible to use "functions" or "Ouputs" in a "Post message in a chat or channel" action ?

I tried both, but every time the test fails with an error message "Not found" whereas the chat group exists and the used account is "registered" in it.

Here is one of the automation I tried:

The 2 "Outputs" are the same (the ones on the "Group chat" field and "Message field")

And here the error I'm getting;

I'm pretty sure that there is no typo because when I run same automation and I manually Select the chat group "PR status test", message is sent here is the written message:

So that means that the output of action "Get tchat to send message to" is OK

Thanks.

Hi @SD-11120853-0,

I assume you are using the name of the group chat in the Compose action? That Group Chat field requires you to use the conversation id instead, not the name.

Below is an example

1. As you can see the field suggests to Add conversation ID

2. In my setup the conversation id is

19:2feb9293b8dd40868f500c448fe69ae1@thread.v2

3. Test run. And you can also use the copy link to find that Conversation Id

Happy to help out 😁

Thanks I managed to send the message by first doing a search of the conversion id.
