Send Message to Conversation

Send a message into an existing AI conversation and get back the AI's response, with full tool access and conversation context.

What It Does

Sends your message to a conversation created earlier in the workflow. The AI processes it with the full context of that conversation, including any attached documents or meetings, and generates a response.

When To Use It

Use this to continue a conversation started with Create Conversation or Chat with AI, for example asking a follow-up question after attaching context documents. If you need to create the conversation and send the first message in one step, use Chat with AI instead.

Configuration

Configure the node with these settings:

Field	What it controls
Conversation	The conversation to send the message to. Required. Should be a conversation created earlier in the workflow.
Message	The message prompt to send to the AI. Required.
Show Message	When enabled, your message is visible in the conversation UI. Defaults to `false`.
Show Completion	When enabled, the AI's response is visible in the conversation UI. Defaults to `true`.
Model, Temperature, Max Steps	Standard AI generation controls.
Enabled Tools	Optional AI tools for this message, such as web search or CRM access.
Artifact Type	Optionally save the response as a specific artifact type, like `SCORECARD` or `EMAIL`, for special processing and display.

Outputs

The node passes these values downstream. Check the Outputs tab on the configured node to confirm exact paths.

Variable	Type	Description	Example
`conversation`	`object`	A reference to the conversation where the message was sent	`{{nodeId.conversation}}`
`conversation.id`	`string`		`{{nodeId.conversation.id}}`
`aiCompletion`	`string`	The LLM completion that was sent to the conversation	`{{nodeId.aiCompletion}}`

Example Workflow

After Attach Documents to Conversation adds the last quarter's meetings, use Send Message to Conversation to ask the AI to compare them and summarize how the deal has progressed.
