Chat, tasks, and files — now with an agent that never stops working

CommunicationProjectsProductivityAutomationHR

Chatwork is Japan's leading business messaging platform, combining group chat, task tracking, and file sharing in one workspace used by 500,000+ companies across Asia. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can post messages to any room, create and close tasks, invite members, upload files, and react to every new message, task, or file event — turning Chatwork from a place where work is discussed into a place where work gets done.

Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate the manual work of copying decisions into task trackers, chasing overdue items by hand, and routing messages to the right person — the room stays organised without anyone tending it.

Client escalation resolved before it lands

When a support email arrives flagging a problem with an account, your agent reads the thread, pulls the account record from HubSpot, searches the Chatwork project room for recent context, creates a task assigned to the CSM, and books a callback slot on the calendar — then posts a heads-up to the Slack on-call channel. The customer gets a response in minutes; the CSM walks into the call already briefed.

How to plug Chatwork into Actionist

Pick the connection method that suits your environment.

The fastest path. Install Chatwork's MCP server in one click; the agent reaches your workspace through a permissioned OAuth handshake — no API tokens to rotate, no scopes to memorise.

1
Open the Apps tab

Find Chatwork in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default.

2
Authorise in Chatwork

You'll be redirected to Chatwork's OAuth screen. Log in, select the workspace you want to connect, and click Allow — Actionist receives a scoped token that covers rooms, messages, and tasks.

3
Test the connection

Actionist runs a read-only call to verify the handshake. You're ready.

FAQs

Questions about Chatwork + Actionist

How do I connect Chatwork to Actionist?
Open the Apps tab, find Chatwork, and click Connect. The MCP path — the default and recommended option — walks you through a standard OAuth flow in Chatwork; you authorise the workspace once and Actionist handles token refresh automatically. If you prefer a service account, choose API Token and paste the key from your Chatwork API Settings page.
Which Chatwork rooms and objects can the agent access?
Once connected via OAuth, the agent can access all rooms the authenticated account belongs to — group rooms, direct message threads, and my chat. It can read and post messages, create and update tasks, upload files, invite members, and read member lists. It cannot access rooms it hasn't been invited to, or read messages older than the Chatwork API's retention window.
Can the agent react to incoming Chatwork messages automatically?
Yes. The New Message Received trigger fires whenever a message is posted to a monitored room. Scope it to a specific room ID to reduce noise — otherwise it fires on every room the account belongs to. Pair it with Send Direct Message or Send Message actions to build reply workflows. Rate limits apply: Chatwork's API allows up to 300 requests per 5 minutes per token.
How do I avoid the agent messaging in a loop?
Two safeguards: first, every agent message includes a bot identifier in the text (e.g. '[Actionist]') so you can add a condition step that skips processing if the trigger message contains that string. Second, use the Mark Message as Read action immediately after processing so the trigger doesn't re-fire on the same message in the next polling cycle. Both together make loops structurally impossible.
What are the API rate limits I should know about?
Chatwork's REST API allows 300 requests per 5 minutes per API token. For high-volume rooms, throttle write actions to batches of 10–20 per minute to stay well under the limit. If you're running multiple workflows from the same API token, their call counts are pooled — consider a dedicated bot account per heavy workflow to keep headroom.
Can the agent create tasks in any room, or only ones it belongs to?
Only rooms the connected account is a member of. The Create Task and Get Tasks actions are scoped to room IDs — if the account isn't in the room, the API returns a 400 error. Actionist surfaces this as a connection error in the workflow log. To fix it, invite the bot account to the target room in Chatwork before running the workflow.
Will disconnecting Chatwork break existing workflows?
Yes — any workflow with a Chatwork step or trigger will fail immediately after disconnecting. Actionist marks the credential as invalid and queues an alert. To disconnect safely: pause all workflows that use Chatwork first, then disconnect. Reconnecting with the same API token or OAuth account restores functionality without rebuilding the workflows.
Does Actionist support Chatwork Enterprise plans?
Actionist connects to Chatwork via the public REST API, which is available on all paid plans including Enterprise. Enterprise plans have higher API rate limits and longer message retention, both of which benefit high-volume agent workflows. SSO-enforced accounts may need an admin-generated API token rather than personal OAuth — check with your Chatwork admin if the standard OAuth flow fails.
