- New Message Received - Trigger when a new message is received (polling-based)

Setup

1. Make sure you have signal-cli-rest-api running (e.g., via Docker)
2. Create a connection in Activepieces:
- API Base URL: Base URL of your signal-cli-rest-api instance (default: http://localhost:8080)
- Use HTTP Basic Auth: Enable if your API is behind a reverse proxy with HTTP Basic Auth
- Basic Auth Username/Password: Credentials if Basic Auth is enabled
- Default Phone Number (Optional): Default Signal phone number for this connection
3. Register or link your Signal number using the API

$3

You can create multiple connections for different purposes:
- Different Signal phone numbers
- Different API instances (e.g., different servers)
- Different authentication setups (with/without Basic Auth)

Each connection stores its own API base URL, authentication credentials, and optional default phone number. When using actions, you can select which connection to use, or the phone number can be specified per action (or use the connection's default).
