Unified inbox — Receive Message

One normalized inbox across platforms: Receive Message extracts text/sender/channel by path regardless of which platform delivered the webhook — write your routing once.

What’s inside

2 nodes — every type links to its full reference page.

Unified inbox Console utility.console

Import it

  1. Studio → Import — paste the JSON below (or the URL /docs/templates/unified-inbox-receive-message.json).
  2. Or ask the AI Copilot with the JSON pasted after the phrase:
    import this workflow json into a new workflow named "Unified inbox — Receive Message"
  3. Any credentials the nodes need are ${credential.…} references — add them once in Admin → Credentials and the template picks them up. Nothing secret ships in a template.
