How To Use
- Trigger: Start by adding a 'Manual Trigger' node and configure it to run on execution.
- Create/Find Channel: Add the 'Twist' node. Set the 'Resource' to 'channel'. Provide the 'Workspace ID' and the desired 'Name' for your new channel. In 'Additional Fields', specify the 'User IDs' of individuals to be added.
- Update Channel: Add another 'Twist' node. Set the 'Resource' to 'channel' and the 'Operation' to 'update'. Use an expression to pull the
idfrom the previous Twist node for 'Channel ID'. Define the 'Description' you want to set. - Send Message: Add a third 'Twist' node. Set the 'Resource' to 'message'. Configure the 'Workspace ID' and 'Conversation ID' where the message should be sent. In the 'Content' field, craft your message, using expressions to dynamically include user mentions (e.g.,
[Harshil](twist-mention://475370)) and channel names (e.g.,{{$node["Twist"].json["name"]}}). - Add Action Button: Within the message node's 'Additional Fields', configure 'Actions UI' to add an 'Action' of type 'open_url' with a custom 'button_text' and the desired 'url'.
