Questions about this workflow
Why use a schedule if the ID is not changing?
A recurring retrieval can make the ID available during a planned setup routine. Choose a cadence that matches your process.
Does this send a WhatsApp message?
No. The BotStar action retrieves the application ID. It does not send a message through 2chat.
