Chat

Starts a workflow when a user sends a message from a chat interface, passing the message text into the workflow.

Purpose

Use this trigger when a workflow should be driven by free-text input from a user in a chat context. It receives the message the user typed and makes it available to downstream tasks so that subsequent steps — such as an AI task or a conditional branch — can act on the content of the message. It is commonly used to build conversational automations where the user's intent determines what the workflow does next.

Inputs

This trigger has no configurable inputs.

Test Inputs

Field	Type	Required	Description
