単一ユーザーへのシングルチャットメッセージの送信

Feature Overview

When the admin sends a message to an account, the sender displayed to the recipient is the admin.
When the admin specifies an account to send a message to another account, the sender displayed to the recipient is not the admin, but the account specified by the admin.
This API does not check whether the sender and the recipients are friends or blocklisted by either party or whether the senders are muted.
This API does not check whether the recipient has muted notifications for messages from the sender by default. If needed, enter WithMuteNotifications in the SendMsgControl parameter.
For one-to-one messages, the MsgSeq field is specified by the user when the message is sent. Its value can be repeated. It is not generated by the backend and not globally unique. For group chat messages, the value of the MsgSeq field is generated by the backend, and each group maintains its respective MsgSeq which increases strictly from 1. For one-to-one messages, the historical messages of the same conversation are sorted by timestamp first, and then the historical messages of the same second are sorted by MsgSeq.
Caution
When calling this API to send a one-to-one message, you must specify whether to synchronize the message to the sender, which is the admin account or the account specified by the admin. Synchronization can be implemented via online terminals and roaming servers. This API provides the SyncOtherMachine parameter to determine whether to synchronize the message. For more information, see Sample requests below.

1 means that messages will not be stored in the historical chat records, meaning if the recipient is online, they will receive the message; if the recipient is not online, they will not receive the message. This is suitable for implementing some real-time status features, such as the "typing" feature.
MsgSeq

Message random number (32-bit unsigned integer), used by the backend for deduplication of messages within the same second. Please ensure this field is filled with a random number.
