Message

Copy a message

Copy link

A user can copy and send their own message in the same channel or to another channel. This works the same way for both open channels and group channels.

For those who are using messageCollection, copying a message will take place as follows. First, pass a target message to copy and the target channel where the message is located to one of the copyUserMessage(), copyFileMessage(), or copyMultipleFilesMessage() methods. Then the SDK creates a pending message using the target message content and let the MessageCollection know that there is a new pending message. If the current user is connected, it adds the message to a message queue and returns the result of the message.

User message

Copy link
channel.copyUserMessage(MESSAGE_TO_COPY, toTargetChannel: TARGET_CHANNEL) { (userMessage, error) in
    guard error == nil else {
        // Handle error.
        return
    }

    // The message is successfully copied to the target channel.
}

File message

Copy link
channel.copyFileMessage(MESSAGE_TO_COPY, toTargetChannel: TARGET_CHANNEL) { (fileMessage, error) in
    guard error == nil else {
        // Handle error.
        return
    }

    // The message is successfully copied to the target channel.
}

Multiple file message

Copy link
channel.copyMultipleFilesMessage(MESSAGE_TO_COPY, toTargetChannel: TARGET_CHANNEL) { (multipleFilesMessage, error) in
    guard error == nil else {
        // Handle error.
        return
    }

    // The message is successfully copied to the target channel.
}
