// This full conversation list will overwrite the original conversation list.
  const conversationList = imResponse.data.conversationList;
  // Whether synchronizing the conversation list from the cloud is completed
  const isSyncCompleted = imResponse.data.isSyncCompleted;
}).catch(function(imError){
  console.warn('getConversationList error:', imError); // Error information
});
// Get the list of specified conversations

  const conversationList = imResponse.data.conversationList; // Conversation list
});
// Get all conversations that are marked as "favorite"

promise.then(function(imResponse) {
  const conversationList = imResponse.data.conversationList; // Conversation list

Listening for Conversation List Update Events

Listen for TencentCloudChat.EVENT.CONVERSATION_LIST_UPDATED events on the access side to get conversation list update notifications.
Examples
let onConversationListUpdated = function(event) {
  console.log(event.data); // Array that stores Conversation instances
};
chat.on(TencentCloudChat.EVENT.CONVERSATION_LIST_UPDATED, onConversationListUpdated);
