Sample request

Basic format Used to invite users to a group. A single request supports adding up to 300 members. By default, the backend delivers group system notifications to all group members, except for private groups (or work groups in the new version) that have not been activated.
{
"GroupId": "@TGS#2J4SZEAEL", // (Required) Target group
"MemberList": [ // Up to 300 members can be added at a time.
{
"Member_Account": "tommy" // The ID of the member to be added (required)
},
{
"Member_Account": "jared"
}]
}
Adding members silently When Silence is set to 1, the system does not notify anyone after successfully adding members.
{
"GroupId": "@TGS#2J4SZEAEL", // (Required) Target group
"Silence": 1, // Whether to add members silently (optional)
"MemberList": [ // Up to 300 members can be added at a time.
{
"Member_Account": "tommy" // The ID of the member to be added (required)
},
{
"Member_Account": "jared"

The returned HTTP status code for this API is always 200 unless a network error (such as error 502) occurs. The specific error code and details can be found in the response fields ErrorCode and ErrorInfo respectively. For public error codes (60000 to 79999), see Error Codes.

Invalid parameter. Check the error description and troubleshoot the issue.
10005
The number of member accounts in the request packet exceeds 300.
