Avito Get Messages

Overview

This node, named "Avito Get Messages," is designed to retrieve messages from a messaging service associated with Avito. It fetches messages for a specific user and chat by using an authentication token. This node is useful in scenarios where you want to automate the retrieval of conversation data from Avito, such as monitoring customer inquiries, integrating message data into CRM systems, or triggering workflows based on new messages.

For example, you could use this node to:

  • Automatically pull recent messages from a particular chat to analyze customer feedback.
  • Sync messages from Avito chats into a database for record-keeping.
  • Trigger notifications or further processing when new messages arrive in a specified chat.

Properties

Name Meaning
User id The identifier of the user whose messages are being retrieved.
Chat id The identifier of the chat from which to get messages.
Token The authentication token required to access the Avito messaging API.

Output

The node outputs a JSON array containing an object with a messages field. This messages field holds the list of messages retrieved from the specified chat. Each message's structure depends on the external API response but is encapsulated within this messages array.

Example output structure:

[
  {
    "messages": [
      {
        // message details here
      },
      {
        // message details here
      }
    ]
  }
]

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Avito messaging API.
  • Needs a valid authentication token (provided via the Token property) to authorize API requests.
  • The node uses an internal API helper (AvitoApi.getMessages) to perform the request; ensure that any necessary API credentials or environment variables are configured accordingly in n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid or expired token: If the token is incorrect or expired, the API call will fail. Ensure the token is valid and has the necessary permissions.
  • Incorrect userId or chatId: Providing wrong identifiers may result in empty responses or errors. Verify these IDs are correct.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures. Check network settings and API availability.
  • API rate limits: Excessive requests might be throttled by the Avito API. Implement retry logic or respect rate limits.

Common error messages likely relate to authentication failures or invalid parameters. To resolve, double-check input values and token validity.
