| Error Handling | Choose what the automation does if validation or the Missive request fails. |
History records whether the request included a team assignment or omitted one. The action sends one request and does not retry it. If the connection fails after Missive receives the request, the post may already exist. Automation history notes that the result is uncertain and shows the complete request and any response, hiding only credentials and secret values. Check the conversation in Missive before you run the automation again, so you do not create a duplicate post.
