# Retry Previous Message

### **Node Name**

Retry Previous Message

***

#### **What it does**

Retries (re-sends) the last message sent in the conversation after a specified delay duration.

***

#### **When to Use**

* When a message may have failed to deliver and needs to be retried<br>
* In scenarios where users might have missed or not responded to the previous message<br>
* For improving message delivery reliability in WhatsApp flows<br>
* As part of fallback or re-engagement strategies<br>

***

#### **UI Inputs**

  * **Type:** Number input<br>
  * **Required:** Yes<br>

    * Maximum value: 24 hours<br>
    * Default value: 1 hour<br>

***

#### **Outputs**

#### **Notes**

* Useful when combined with delivery checks or fallback logic to improve engagement rates
