    Before a One-to-One Message Is Sent

    Last updated: 2024-06-25 16:45:54

      Overview

      This webhook is used by the app backend to manage users' one-to-one messages in real time, including:
      Records one-to-one messages sent in real time, for example, by recording a log or synchronizing the messages to other systems.
      Blocks users' requests to send non-compliant messages of any type, such as text, image, and custom messages.
      Note:
      The timeout period of the webhook before message sending is two seconds by default, and we recommend you not adjust it. This webhook may time out when used for text moderation.

      Limits

      To enable this webhook, you must configure the webhook URL and enable the corresponding switch for this webhook. For more information on the configuration method, see Webhook Configuration.
      During this webhook event, the Chat backend initiates an HTTPS POST request to the app backend.
      After receiving the webhook request, the app backend must check whether the SDKAppID contained in the request URL is the SDKAppID of the app.
      If the webhook before sending one-to-one messages and the webhook after sending one-to-one messages are both enabled and forbidding message sending is returned for the webhook before sending one-to-one messages, the webhook after sending one-to-one messages cannot be triggered.
      If the webhook before sending one-to-one messages and the webhook after sending one-to-one messages are both enabled and the message body is modified during the webhook before sending one-to-one messages, the webhook after sending one-to-one messages will use the modified message for webhook.
      For more security considerations, see the Security Considerations section in Webhook Overview.

      Webhook Triggering Scenarios

      An app user sends a one-to-one message on the client.
      The app admin sends a one-to-one message by calling the sendmsg RESTful API.

      Webhook Triggering Timing

      The Chat backend has received a one-to-one message sent by a user but has not delivered the message to the target user.

      Sample response when sending messages is allowed

      The user is allowed to send group messages, and the content of the message is not modified.
      {
          "ActionStatus": "OK",
          "ErrorInfo": "",
          "ErrorCode": 0 // `0` indicates the user is allowed to send messages.
      }

      Sample response when sending messages is forbidden

      The user is not allowed to send group messages. In this case, the message is not sent, and the error code 20006 is returned to the user (message sender).
      {
          "ActionStatus": "OK",
          "ErrorInfo": "",
          "ErrorCode": 1 // `1` indicates that the user is not allowed to send messages.

          "ErrorInfo": "",
          "ErrorCode": 2 // The value `2` indicates the message is silently discarded.
      }

      Sample response when the message content is modified

      In the following sample, the message sent by the user is modified (a custom message or custom message data is added), and the Chat backend will send the modified message. With this feature, the app backend can add special content, such as the user level and title, to the message sent by the user. Example:
      {
          "ActionStatus": "OK",
          "ErrorInfo": "",
          "ErrorCode": 0, // This field must be set to `0` so that the modified message can be sent normally.
          "MsgBody": [ // Message modified by the app backend. If the app backend does not modify the message, the message sent by the user is delivered.
              {
                  "MsgType": "TIMTextElem", // Text
                  "MsgContent":{
                      "Text": "red packet"
                  }
              },
