Build a chat/messenger into your Retool app

This tutorial will show you how to add a full-featured messenger to your Retool app using our messenger component. Have Retool ready, and let's get started.

1. Get access token

For our Weavy component to work, we need an access token from the authentication workflow. 

Go to Code in the left panel, click the + and select Import Workflow

  • Name it getWeavyToken 
  • Select WeavyAuthentication from the Select Workflow dropdown
  • Click the Reset to Example JSON in Workflow parameters
  • Change the Run behavior to Automatic
  • Click Save & Run
  • If successful, you should see an access token in the output window

2. Add Weavy Messenger

Search for Weavy Messenger in the components search bar, drag and drop it onto the canvas.

3. Done!

The Weavy Messenger component should load instantly - but toggle to Preview mode to see the full experience.

Note that this is fully working now and available for all your users if you want - full-featured messaging, just like that.
