RingCentral Embeddable Project - React - Group texting

Hi @Ext 45211 Currently the embeddable widget doesn't support group SMS now. It is in backlog, but no ETA now.

Thanks . Currently we are customizing the embeddable widget to meet our needs. Can you provide a direction of how can we include group widgets at high level so that we can work on that? Is there a ringcentral-js-widget that supports it. As this is critical for us, if you can provide high level how to achieve this we will implement.

Hi @Ext 45211 the embeddable is based on RingCentral JS Widgets library (react and redux) https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-js-widgets. You need to learn the widgets's framework. It is based on modules and page.

To add the group SMS feature, you will need to update the source code of RingCentral Embeddable https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-embeddable
1. Firstly you need to override send function in MessageSender module: https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-embeddable/blob/master/src/modules/MessageSender/index.ts#L12

Base send function here: https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-js-widgets/blob/master/packages/ringcentral-integration/modules/MessageSender/MessageSender.ts#L247

2. Then you will also need to override ComposeText page to have group message enable flag.https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-js-widgets/blob/master/packages/ringcentral-widgets/components/ComposeTextPanel/index.tsx
BTW, let me talk with our PM to check if we can have some plan on this.
