Overview

This node subscribes to presence updates for a specified chat session in a messaging platform. It is useful for monitoring user presence status changes in real-time, such as when a user becomes online or offline in a chat. Practical applications include updating user interfaces with live presence information or triggering workflows based on presence changes.

Use Case Examples

1. Subscribe to presence updates for a specific chat session to display online/offline status in a customer support dashboard.
2. Monitor presence changes in a team chat to trigger notifications when key members become available.

Properties

Output

JSON

• presenceUpdate - The presence update information received from the subscription, including user presence status and related metadata.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential or authentication token to connect to the messaging platform's presence subscription service.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues include invalid session or chat ID causing subscription failures. Verify that the session and chat ID are correct and accessible.
• SSL certificate validation errors may occur if the server uses a self-signed or invalid certificate. Use the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option to bypass this if necessary, but be aware of security risks.
• Timeout errors can happen if the server is slow to respond. Adjust the timeout setting to a higher value if needed.
• Proxy configuration errors may prevent the node from connecting. Ensure proxy settings are correct and credentials are valid if required.
