Message steps

Message steps allow the sending and receiving of requests to third-party messaging . These can be used to configure both incoming and outgoing messages.

Overview

A message step can be added to a flow to send and receive message requests.

The message step

A message step uses message actions to define the interface of inputs/outputs when calling against each message. Adding message actions allows you to map values in a flow to the inputs and outputs specified by a message step.

For more information, refer to Adding Message Actions to a step.

Then select the required action to configure the message. Refer to Adding Message Actions to a step.
  6. Add and link outcomes to the message step as required to define the routing logic for the message step.
