Specifying the message sender
The app admin can specify a group member as the message sender in
From_Account
.
After receiving the message, other members will see that the message is sent from the group member specified by the app admin.{"GroupId": "@TGS#2C5SZEAEF","From_Account": "leckie", // Message sender (optional)"Random": 8912345, // A random number. If the random numbers of two messages are the same within five minutes, they are considered to be the same message."MsgBody": [ // Message body, which consists of an element array. For details, see the field description.{"MsgType": "TIMTextElem", // Text"MsgContent": {"Text": "red packet"}},{"MsgType": "TIMFaceElem", // Emoji"MsgContent": {"Index": 6,"Data": "abc\u0000\u0001"}}]}
Specifying the message recipient
If
To_Account
is added to the message body, and a message recipient is specified in it, the message will be sent only to the specified recipient, and the message is excluded from the unread count. (Supported group types: Private, Public, ChatRoom)Note
This feature is supported only in the Premium edition.
{"GroupId":"@TGS#12DEVUDHQ","Random":2784275388,"MsgBody":[{"MsgType":"TIMCustomElem","MsgContent":{"Data":"1cddddddddq1"}}],"To_Account":["brennanli2", "brennanli3"] // Specify the message recipient (up to 50 recipients can be specified). If this field is used, the message is excluded from the unread count.}
Specifying that messages do not trigger conversation update
If
SendMsgControl
is set to NoLastMsg
, it indicates not to trigger conversation update; if it is set to NoUnread
, it indicates not to include the message in the unread count (this field cannot be used for audio-video groups (AVChatRoom). For meeting groups (Meeting), messages are excluded from the unread count by default, and you need to enable the feature; otherwise, an error will be reported when NoUnread
is set).{"GroupId": "@TGS#2C5SZEAEF","Random": 8912345, // A random number. If the random numbers of two messages are the same within five minutes, they are considered to be the same message."SendMsgControl":["NoLastMsg"],// Do not trigger conversation update."MsgBody": [ // Message body, which consists of an element array. For details, see the field description.{"MsgType": "TIMTextElem", // Text"MsgContent": {"Text": "red packet"}},{"MsgType": "TIMFaceElem", // Emoji"MsgContent": {"Index": 6,"Data": "abc\u0000\u0001"}}]}
Specifying the message priority
You can specify the message priority. The default priority is
Normal
.
There are three priority options in descending order: High
, Normal
, and Low
. They are case-sensitive.{"GroupId": "@TGS#2C5SZEAEF","Random": 8912345, // A random number. If the random numbers of two messages are the same within five minutes, they are considered to be the same message."MsgPriority": "High", // Message priority"MsgBody": [ // Message body, which consists of an element array. For details, see the field description.{"MsgType": "TIMTextElem", // Text"MsgContent": {"Text": "red packet"}},{"MsgType": "TIMFaceElem", // Emoji"MsgContent": {"Index": 6,"Data": "abc\u0000\u0001"}}]}
Forbidding callback for a message
When the callback switch is turned on, users can specify
ForbidCallbackControl
to control whether to initiate callback for a single message. By default, callback is initiated.{"GroupId": "@TGS#2C5SZEAEF","Random": 8912345, // A random number. If the random numbers of two messages are the same within five minutes, they are considered to be the same message."ForbidCallbackControl":["ForbidBeforeSendMsgCallback","ForbidAfterSendMsgCallback"], // Callback forbidding control option"MsgBody": [ // Message body, which consists of an element array. For details, see the field description.{"MsgType": "TIMTextElem", // Text"MsgContent": {"Text": "red packet"}},{"MsgType": "TIMFaceElem", // Emoji"MsgContent": {"Index": 6,"Data": "abc\u0000\u0001"}}]}
Sending group @ messages
The mentioned users (@) set in the
GroupAtInfo
field have a one-to-one and sequential correspondence to the mentioned @ users in the message body.Caution
Audio-video groups (AVChatroom) don't support the @all feature.
{"GroupId": "@TGS#2C5SZEAEF","Random": 8912345, // A random number. If the random numbers of two messages are the same within five minutes, they are considered to be the same message."MsgBody": [ // Message body, which consists of an element array.

Specifying messages for online delivery without offline or roaming retention
If OnlineOnlyFlag in the message body is set to a value greater than
0
, the message is for online delivery only, not for offline or roaming retention (not available for AVChatRoom or BChatRoom).{"GroupId": "@TGS#2C5SZEAEF","Random": 8912345, // A random number. If the random numbers of two messages are the same within five minutes, they are considered to be the same message."OnlineOnlyFlag": 1, // The message is for online delivery only (only online group members will receive it), not for offline or roaming retention."MsgBody": [ // Message body, which consists of an element array. For details, see the field description.{"MsgType": "TIMTextElem", // Text"MsgContent": {"Text": "red packet"}},{"MsgType": "TIMFaceElem", // Emoji"MsgContent": {"Index": 6,"Data": "abc\u0000\u0001"}}]}
