Start a Hive automation for a contact
start_flow_for_contactDestructiveIdempotent
Start one live Hive automation for one person, in their latest conversation on their account. Hive refuses in plain words, and sends nothing, when the reply window has closed, the person has not opted in, the account needs reconnecting, or automations are paused for this person or their conversation. This sends real messages, so your AI asks before it runs; with Hive approvals on, Hive asks again inside Hive.
