Text to message
Turn a saved message id or link into a message you can edit, react to or pin.
convert.to_message
In a flow
“Works out text to message whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
What it does
Turn a saved message id or link into a message you can edit, react to or pin. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: turn a saved message id or link into a message you can edit, react to or pin.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Text Text
-
An id, a mention or a link, like a thread id saved earlier as {var.thread}.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
