Channels → Create A Direct Message Channel
AI-generatedSummary
Create a direct message channel in an Infomaniak kChat team.
Inputs
- authentication — Authentication method to use for Infomaniak kChat API access. Defaults to OAuth2 if not specified. Select OAuth2 or API Key based on your Infomaniak account setup..
- teamName (required) — Your kChat team name (the subdomain in https://
.kchat.infomaniak.com). This is required to identify the correct team workspace. - body (required) — JSON body containing the request payload for creating a direct message channel. Typically includes recipient identifiers and channel configuration options.
- returnFullResponse — If set to true, the full API response is returned as the node output. If false (default), only the parsed channel data is passed to subsequent nodes.
Output shape
An n8n item containing the created direct message channel details. When returnFullResponse is true, the item contains the complete Infomaniak API response; otherwise, the item includes the channel identifier and metadata relevant to the workflow.
Authentication is handled via the node's configured connection (OAuth2 or API Key). The operation consumes the team name and JSON body, sends a request to the Infomaniak kChat API, and outputs channel creation results based on the returnFullResponse setting.
Examples
Example 1: Create a direct message channel for a specific user in your kChat team using OAuth2 authentication.
Set authentication to OAuth2, provide your team subdomain in teamName, construct a JSON body specifying the target user, and leave returnFullResponse at false for standard workflow integration.
