Yes, get your chat id using this API
https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference/Chats/listGlipChats
Then use the chat id to make a post using this API
https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference/Posts/createGlipPost
I have a question about this, @Phong Vu. What is the API call that I use to create a chat with someone when the conversation is not found with listGlipChats? I need an id for createGlipPost and don't see how to create a new one. Thanks.
Update: Is it Create/Open Conversation? I was looking in the chats and posts sections and nothing popped out at me.
Hi @Andrew Prokop
Your understanding is correct
You need to first create a conversation if it doesn't already exist using the create conversation api
https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference/Conversations/createGlipConversation
The API will return you the existing chatId if a conversation already exists with the given list of users and will not create a new chatId
You then need to use the chatId the above API returns to create a post using
https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference/Posts/createGlipPost
To add more context, the way glip works is that it considers every text communication as a "conversation" (unless it is a group)
What that means is that if you need to create an ad-hoc channel (not a group) where 2 or more people are involved, you need to have a "conversation" with a unique chatId
Hope this is helpful
Thanks! I hope to have this coded up before too long and will see for myself. :-)
