Before a Friend Is Added

Feature Description

This API is used by the app backend to:
View friend requests in real time.
Block malicious friend requests.

Notes

To enable this callback, you must configure a callback URL and toggle on the corresponding protocol. For more information on the configuration method, see Callback Configuration.
During this callback, the IM backend initiates an HTTP POST request to the app backend.
After receiving the callback request, the app backend must check whether the SDKAppID contained in the request URL is the SDKAppID of the app.
For more security considerations, see the Security Considerations section in Third-Party Callback Overview.

Callback Triggering Scenarios

An app user initiates a friend request on the client.

Callback Triggering Timing

The IM backend receives a friend request from the app.
Caution:
Friend requests initiated via RESTful API calls will not trigger the callback.
