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

    Creating a merged message

    This API is used to create a merged message. It returns a message instance, which can be sent by calling the sendMessage API when you need to send a merged message.
    Note
    1. This API does not support merging messages that failed to be sent. If the message list contains a message that failed to be sent, the API will report an error.
    API
    chat.createMergerMessage(options);
    Parameter
    The options parameter is of the Object type. It contains the following attribute values:
    Name
    Type
    Default
    Description
    to
    String
    -
    userID or groupID of the message receiver
    conversationType
    String
    -
    Conversation type. Valid values:
    TencentCloudChat.TYPES.CONV_C2C (one-to-one conversation)
    TencentCloudChat.TYPES.CONV_GROUP (group conversation)
    priority
    String
    TencentCloudChat.TYPES.MSG_PRIORITY_NORMAL
    Message priority. If messages in a group exceed the frequency limit, the backend will deliver high-priority messages first. Supported enumerated values:
    TencentCloudChat.TYPES.MSG_PRIORITY_HIGH
    TencentCloudChat.TYPES.MSG_PRIORITY_NORMAL (default)
    TencentCloudChat.TYPES.MSG_PRIORITY_LOW
    TencentCloudChat.TYPES.MSG_PRIORITY_LOWEST
    payload
    Object
    -
    Message content container
    cloudCustomData
    String
    ''
    Custom message data, which is saved in the cloud, will be sent to the receiver, and can still be pulled after the application is uninstalled and reinstalled.
    The payload is as described below:
    Name
    Type
    Description
    messageList
    Array
    Merged message list
    title
    String
    Title of merged messages, for example, "Chat History of the Talent Center in the Greater Bay Area"
    abstractList
    String
    Abstract list. You can set abstract information in different formats for different message types, for example, in the sender:text format for a text message, in the sender:[image] format for an image message, or in the sender:[file] format for a file message.
    compatibleText
    String
    Compatibility text. If the SDK on an early version does not support the merged message, the user will receive a text message with the content ${compatibleText} by default. This field is required.
    Returned value
    Message
    Sample
    // 1. Forward group messages to a one-to-one conversation.
    // `message1`, `message2`, and `message3` are group messages.
    let mergerMessage = chat.createMergerMessage({
    to: 'user1',
    conversationType: TencentCloudChat.TYPES.CONV_C2C,
    payload: {
    messageList: [message1, message2, message3],
    title: 'Chat History of the Talent Center in the Greater Bay Area',
    abstractList: ['allen: 666', 'iris: [Image]', 'linda: [File]'],
    compatibleText: 'Upgrade your Chat SDK to v2.10.1 or later to view this message.'
    },
    // cloudCustomData: 'your cloud custom data'
    });
    
    // 2. Send the message.
    let promise = chat.sendMessage(mergerMessage);
    promise.then(function(imResponse) {
    // The message sent successfully
    console.log(imResponse);
    }).catch(function(imError) {
    // Failed to send the message
    console.warn('sendMessage error:', imError);
    });

    Downloading a Merged Message

    This API is used to download a merged message. When the merged message sent by the sender is large in size, the SDK will store it in the cloud, and the message receiver needs to download it from the cloud before viewing it.
    API
    chat.downloadMergerMessage(message);
    Parameter
    Name
    Type
    Description
    message
    Message
    Message instance
    Returned value
    Promise
    Sample
    // If `downloadKey` exists, the received merged message is stored in the cloud
    // and needs to be downloaded first.
    if (message.type === TencentCloudChat.TYPES.MSG_MERGER && message.payload.downloadKey !== '') {
    let promise = chat.downloadMergerMessage(message);
    promise.then(function(imResponse) {
    // After the download is successful
    // the SDK will update information such as `message.payload.messageList`.
    console.log(imResponse.data);
    }).catch(function(imError) {
    // Download failed
    console.warn('downloadMergerMessage error:', imError);
    });
    }

    Forwarding Messages One by One

    To forward a single message, create a message identical to the original message through the createForwardMessage API first, and then call the sendMessage API to send the message.
    API
    chat.createForwardMessage(message);
    Parameter
    Name
    Type
    Description
    message
    Message
    Message instance
    Sample
    let forwardMessage = chat.createForwardMessage({
    to: 'user1',
    conversationType: TencentCloudChat.TYPES.CONV_C2C,
    payload: message, // The received or sent message instance
    });
    // 2. Send the message.
    let promise = chat.sendMessage(forwardMessage);
    promise.then(function(imResponse) {
    // The message sent successfully
    console.log(imResponse);
    }).catch(function(imError) {
    // Failed to send the message
    console.warn('sendMessage error:', imError);
    });

    Sending a message

    This API is used to send a message. You need to call any of the following message instance creation APIs to create a message instance first before calling this API to send the message instance.
    createTextMessage
    createTextAtMessage
    createImageMessage
    createAudioMessage
    createVideoMessage
    createCustomMessage
    createFaceMessage
    createFileMessage
    createLocationMessage
    createMergerMessage
    createForwardMessage
    Note
    1. When this API is called to send a message instance, the SDK must be in the ready status; otherwise, the message instance cannot be sent. The SDK status can be obtained by listening for the TencentCloudChat.EVENT.SDK_READY event, which will be triggered when the SDK is in the ready status.
    2. The TencentCloudChat.EVENT.MESSAGE_RECEIVED event must be listened for in order to receive newly pushed one-to-one messages, group messages, group tips, or group system notifications.
    3. Messages sent by this API will not trigger the TencentCloudChat.EVENT.MESSAGE_RECEIVED event. Messages sent by the same account from another client (or through the RESTful API) will trigger the TencentCloudChat.EVENT.MESSAGE_RECEIVED event.
    4. Offline push applies only to Android or iOS devices but is not supported for web.
    5. onlineUserOnly and messageControlInfo cannot be used together.
    API
    chat.sendMessage(message, options);
    Parameter
    Name
    Type
    Description
    message
    Message
    Message instance
    options
    Object
    Message sending option (message content container), which is optional
    The options is as described below:
    Name
    Type
    Description
    onlineUserOnly
    Boolean
    It specifies whether the message is sent only to online users and defaults to false. If it is set to true, the message will not be stored on the roaming server, nor counted as an unread message, nor pushed to the receiver offline. It is suitable for sending unimportant tips such as broadcast notifications. This parameter is not supported when a message is sent in an audio-video group (AVChatRoom).
    offlinePushInfo
    Object
    For more information, see Offline Push.
    messageControlInfo
    Object
    It is a message control configuration item.
    The offlinePushInfo is as described below:
    Name
    Type
    Description
    disablePush
    Boolean
    true: offline push is disabled; false (default): offline push is enabled.
    title
    String
    Offline push title. This parameter is used by both iOS and Android.
    description
    String
    Offline push content. This parameter will overwrite the offline push display text of the message instance. If the sent message is a custom message, this parameter will overwrite message.payload.description. If both description and message.payload.description are left empty, the receiver cannot receive the offline push notification of the custom message.
    extension
    String
    Content passed through by offline push
    ignoreIOSBadge
    Boolean
    Specifies whether the badge count is ignored (applicable to iOS only). If this parameter is set to true, the unread message count on the application badge will not increase when the message is received by the iOS device.
    androidOPPOChannelID
    String
    Offline push channel ID for OPPO phones that run Android v8.0 or later
    The messageControlInfo is as described below:
    Name
    Type
    Description
    excludedFromUnreadCount
    Boolean
    true: unreadCount of the conversation is not updated (the message is stored on the roaming server); false (default)
    excludedFromLastMessage
    Boolean
    true: lastMessage of the conversation is not updated (the message is stored on the roaming server); false (default)
    excludedFromContentModeration
    Boolean
    true: the message is excluded from content moderation. You need to purchase the Premium edition.
    Returned Value
    Promise
    Sample
    // If the receiver is offline, the message will be stored on the roaming server
    // and pushed offline on the precondition that the receiver's application switches to the background
    // or the process is killed.
    // The default title and content of offline push are kept.
    chat.sendMessage(message);
    chat.sendMessage(message, {
    // If the receiver is offline, the message will be neither stored on the roaming server
    // nor pushed offline.
    onlineUserOnly: true
    });
    chat.sendMessage(message, {
    offlinePushInfo: {
    // If the receiver is offline, the message will be stored on the roaming server
    // but will not be pushed offline.
    disablePush: true
    }
    });
    chat.sendMessage(message, {
    // If the receiver is offline, the message will be stored on the roaming server
    // and pushed offline on the precondition that the receiver's application switches to the background
    // or the process is killed.
    // The title and content of offline push can be customized at the access side.
    offlinePushInfo: {
    title: '', // Offline push title
    description: '', // Offline push content
    // Offline push channel ID for OPPO phones that run Android v8.0 or later for offline push
    androidOPPOChannelID: ''
    }
    });
    chat.sendMessage(message, {
    messageControlInfo: {
    // `unreadCount` of the conversation is not updated (the message is stored on the roaming server).
    excludedFromUnreadCount: true,
    // `lastMessage` of the conversation is not updated (the message is stored on the roaming server).
    excludedFromLastMessage: true
    }
    });
    chat.sendMessage(message, {
    messageControlInfo: {
    excludedFromContentModeration: true,
    }
    });
    Feature
    Limit Item
    Description
    One-to-one/group message
    Content length
    A one-to-one or group message must be no longer than 12 KB.
    Sending frequency
    One-to-one message: No limit for sending one-to-one messages on the client; sending through the RESTful API is subject to the frequency limit. See the corresponding API documentation. Group message: Up to 40 messages can be sent per second per group (regardless of the group type and platform interface, and this limit applies to each group separately).
    Receiving frequency
    No limit for one-to-one messages or group messages.
    Size of a single file
    SDKs support a maximum file size of 100 MB for any single file to be sent.
    Note:
    1. When the number of sent messages exceeds the limit, the backend will first deliver high-priority messages, and messages with the same priority will be delivered randomly. However, if the number of high-priority messages sent in a second exceeds 40, high-priority messages will also be discarded.
    2. A message that has been restricted by frequency control is not delivered or stored in the message history, but a success response will be returned to the sender. Before Group Message Is Sent callback is triggered, but After a Group Message Is Sent callback is not triggered.
    3. The default frequency limit for calling the RESTful API to send group messages is 200 times per second, which is a different concept from the aforementioned "limit of 40 messages per second for each group." Please distinguish it.
    Please refer to Use Limits for more limits.
