Summary

Retrieve the details of a specific automation rule by its ID for a given session.

Inputs

  • sessionId (required) — The ID of the session. Choose from the list, or specify an ID using an expression.
  • ruleId (required) — The ID of the rule, as returned by Create or List

Output shape

The automation rule object as returned by the OpenWA API.

These rules run on the gateway, not in n8n: a matching message is answered even when this workflow is not running. That makes them the right tool for an out-of-hours acknowledgement, and the wrong one for anything needing workflow logic. Conditions use the same field set as webhook filters and therefore only see message events.
