Allows you to create, update, or delete a conversation message.

Connection Establish a connection to your Drift account.
Conversation ID Select or map the conversation where you want to create, edit or delete a message.
Type Select the message type. Chat is used for creating a public message in the conversation, while the private notes will be shown only to the agents.

  • chat Messages are the most ubiquitous type. They correspond to a regular text-based communication from either a Contact or a User and are visible to both. chat type messages may also contain buttons, in which case they’re only visible to the Conversation’s Contact.
  • private_notes are Messages that can only be created by a User and seen by other Users. These are useful for sharing sensitive, but useful information to Users in the context of the communication they’re having with a given Contact
  • private_prompts are similarly only visible to Users, but can only be created by Apps. They’re intended to allow developers to present Users with an interactive context (via buttons) to perform an action in the context of the Conversation.
  • edits allow to change Messages that have already been created. Edits are restricted to pertain to those types of Messages for now.
Buttons Add buttons that will be included in the message body. These will show up as clickable buttons in the posted message – can be used to trigger events on click.

For more information about buttons please refer to the Drift documentation.

Message Body Enter the message text that will be sent to the contact/client.

Some basic html tags are allowed. <b>, <em>, and <a> tags are allowed, but most others are automatically stripped, as well as any styles on the allowed ones. Ultimately, you can treat this field as plain text and not include any tags.

Note for urls to expand or unfurl as clickable links in the conversation view, ex: when posting a youtube link in the chat, you should post the link as an a tag.

{   "body": "hey there, check this out <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD30F_tjogs'>here</a>",   "type": "chat" }

Javascript in the message is not supported.

Author User ID Select or map the author of the message. If the user is not specified, the bot user for the account will be used as the message author. You can also specify a User ID of a known user in the organization’s account here. The message from the API will appear as if posted by that particular user/agent in the conversation.

Bugs

  • Update an author never works.
  • When clicking a button, the message above will return the original state ignoring edits. Example: “original message” + button (action replace type). When you change this to “edited message” with the same button. If you click that action button, the button is replaced with text (because it is a Replace Edit Type) but also the message above “edited message” becomes “original message” again.
