Send targeted messages

Send a message to specific members within a group channel. Targeted messages are only delivered to the specified recipients, not to all group members.

Send a targeted message

Use the directedUserIds field in SendMessageParams to specify recipients:

TypeScript

import { GroupChannel, SendTextMessageParams } from '@nexconn/chat';

const channel = new GroupChannel('<group-id>');

const params = new SendTextMessageParams({ text: 'This message is for selected members only' });
params.directedUserIds = ['user1', 'user2']; // Only these users receive the message
const { code, data } = await channel.sendMessage(params);
if (code === 0) {
  console.log('Targeted message sent:', data);
} else {
  console.log('Send failed. Code:', code);
}

Parameters (SendTextMessageParams)

Property	Type	Required	Description
text (constructor)	TextMessageContent	Yes	The message text content
directedUserIds	string[]	No	Array of user IDs who should receive the message. Set after construction.

info

• Targeted messages are stored in the sender's and recipients' message history only.
• Other group members do not see the message and their unread count is not affected.
• This feature is useful for admin announcements to specific users or private notifications within a group.
