- Get Conversation Attachments
Retrieves attachments from messages in a specific conversation. Important: Helpwise does not provide a dedicated attachments endpoint.

Use this when you need to: - Get all file attachments from a specific conversation - Access attachment metadata (filename, URL, size, content type) - Download files shared in customer support conversations Note: This action retrieves attachments through the messages endpoint, as Helpwise embeds attachment data within message objects rather than providing a standalone attachments resource.

- Get Conversation Notes
Retrieves all notes associated with a specific conversation. Notes are internal comments or annotations that team members add to conversations for collaboration and context.

Use this tool when you need to: - Create a new team with a unique name - Optionally add a description for the team - Optionally assign initial members by their user IDs IMPORTANT: Team creation via API is not available in the current Helpwise API. All tested endpoints (/api/v1/teams, /dev-apis/teams, /api/v1/team, /dev-apis/team) return 404. Team management appears to be limited to the Helpwise web interface. If you need to create teams, please: 1. Use the Helpwise web interface at https://app.helpwise.io 2. Contact Helpwise support at dev@helpwise.io to request API endpoint availability This action is implemented speculatively for future API support and follows standard patterns used in other Helpwise actions.
- Create Helpwise Webhook
Creates a new webhook subscription in Helpwise to receive real-time event notifications. Use this action to programmatically subscribe to Helpwise events like conversation creation, message replies, conversation assignments, status changes, and tag applications. Webhooks deliver JSON payloads to your specified callback URL when subscribed events occur. IMPORTANT: Helpwise webhook management is primarily done through the UI at: Settings > Automation > Integrations > Webhooks (https://app.helpwise.io/settings/integrations) This action attempts to use programmatic API endpoints, but if they're unavailable in your Helpwise plan or environment, you'll need to create webhooks manually via the UI.
