AI-generatedOverview
This node operation interacts with a chat API to find and retrieve messages from a specified contact within a chat instance. It supports pagination by allowing users to specify the page number and the number of messages per page. This is useful for scenarios where users need to fetch chat history or specific messages from a contact in a controlled and paginated manner.
Use Case Examples
- Fetching the first 10 messages from a contact in a chat instance named 'SupportChat'.
- Retrieving the second page of messages with 20 messages per page from a specific contact for review or processing.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Instance Name | The name of the chat instance to query messages from. |
| Contact | The contact number whose messages are to be found. |
| Page | The page number of the message results to retrieve, supporting pagination. |
| Quantity Per Page | The number of messages to retrieve per page, controlling the size of each paginated result set. |
Output

Dependencies

Troubleshooting
