Bot reply resource

The botReply: resource sends a text reply back to the bot platform that delivered the current message - Discord, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, or stdout when running in stateless mode. It only makes sense in a workflow whose settings.input.sources includes bot.

Where it runs

Both workflow mode and agent mode. Requires bot configured under settings.input - see Input sources.

Basic usage

# resources/llm.yaml
actionId: llm
name: Generate Reply
chat:
  model: llama3.2:1b
  prompt: "{{ get('message') }}"

# resources/reply.yaml
actionId: reply
name: Send Reply
requires: [llm]
botReply:
  text: "{{ get('llm').message.content }}"

Configuration options

Option	Description
text	The message to send. Supports expression interpolation (required)

Output

{ "success": true }

Full example
