Messages: Forward Message
AI-generatedSummary
Forwards text and/or server-stored Signal attachments to a contact or group by sending them through signal-cli-rest-api. Provide at least a message or one source attachment ID; attachment IDs can come from a Signal Trigger, and the node fetches them from the server before sending.
Inputs
- Recipient (required) — Phone number, username, or group ID to receive the forwarded message.
- Message — Text to send; may be left empty when forwarding attachments.
- Source Attachment IDs — Comma-separated attachment IDs already stored on the Signal server. The node fetches each ID and includes any successfully retrieved, non-empty attachments in the message.
- Timeout (seconds) — Request timeout in seconds; defaults to 60 and accepts values from 1 to 600.
Output shape
A single n8n item per input item, with the API response in its json field.
If the API response has no body, json contains {"status":"Message forwarded"}. Each output is paired with its input item. If neither text nor attachment IDs are provided, the operation errors; IDs that cannot be fetched or contain empty data are skipped.
