Targeted Group Message

Feature Description

A targeted group message is a message sent to specified members in a group, which cannot be received by other group members.
Note:
1. To use this feature, you need to purchase the Premium edition as instructed in Pricing.
2. When creating a group @ message, you cannot specify the list of group members to receive the message (receiverList).
3. The targeted group message feature is not available for community and audio-video (AVChatRoom) groups.
4. By default, targeted group messages are excluded from the unread count of the group conversation.

Display Effect

By using the targeted group message feature, you can achieve the effect shown in the figure below:


Sending a Targeted Group Message

To send a targeted group message to specified members in a group, follow the instructions below:
Call the createXxxMessage API (here, Xxx indicates the message type) to create a message (specify the message recipients via receiverList).
Call the sendMessage API to send the message.
Sample
// Create a targeted group message
let message = chat.createTextMessage({
  to: 'test',
  conversationType: TencentCloudChat.TYPES.CONV_GROUP,
  payload: {
    text: 'Hello world!'
  },
  receiverList: ['user0', 'user1']
});

// Send the message
let promise = chat.sendMessage(message);
promise.then(function(imResponse) {
  // Message sent successfully
  console.log(imResponse);
}).catch(function(imError){
  // The message failed to be sent
  console.warn('sendMessage error:', imError);
});

Receiving a Targeted Group Message

By default, targeted group messages are excluded from the unread count of a group conversation.
A targeted group message can be received in the same way as an ordinary message.
