On Message Received (Trigger)

This trigger starts a workflow when Alive5 sends an inbound message event to n8n.

Parameters

• Channel
  • Dynamically select which Alive5 Channel (business line) to listen on

Activation / Deactivation behavior

• On activation: n8n registers your workflow webhook URL in Alive5 for the selected channel
• On deactivation: n8n removes the registered webhook URL from Alive5

Alive5 webhook registration endpoint used by this node:

• POST /1.0/channel/register-webhook-url with form fields action=add|remove, channel_id, webhook_url

Output

The trigger outputs the received webhook JSON payload as-is (raw body), so your workflow can map fields like sender phone number, message content, channel id, and timestamp.
