Output shape

a single JSON object per message sent containing either a simplified or full response from the Viber API

If 'Simplify' is true, the output includes the status code, sequence, message token, and optionally the session ID. If false, the full Viber API response plus the original request body is returned. On errors, if 'Continue On Fail' is enabled, error details are included per item; otherwise, execution stops with an error.
