## Behavior

When activated, this Task sends a reply of a specific message, configured in the settings.

The `requestId` input is important to identify the request to be replied to. If the input is empty, the Task uses the `requestId` of the execution context, which is set by the On PanaCIM Request Task that received the request.

When you select the Message in the settings, the Task generates one dynamic input for each parameter of the selected command, as defined in the Automation Driver Definition. The Property Name of each input is the `path` extended data of the command parameter or, when the parameter has no `path`, the parameter name. When the Task sends the reply, it writes each input value into the reply message at that path. For the command parameter extended data, see [[user-guide-driver-panacim]].

## Remarks

None.
