Create a Team, Add Members, and Post a Message

Create a team, add members, post a message, and read the post back.

  1. Create the team. The returned id is both the team id and the chat id used for posting, so it is captured once and reused by the later steps.
  2. Add the requested people to the team. Members may be identified by internal person id or by email address. This returns 204 with no body.
  3. Post the opening message into the team's chat using the team id as the chat id.
  4. Read the post back to confirm it was persisted to the chat and to capture the rendered attachment ids for any follow-up edit.
What you'll need to have ready
  • teamName: Name of the team to create (e.g. "Incident 4821").
  • description: User-friendly description of the team's purpose.
  • public: Whether the team is public (discoverable and joinable by anyone in the company) or private.
  • members: People to add to the team after creation. Each entry identifies a person by internal id or by email.
  • text: The message body to post. Supports RingCentral's markdown-style formatting.
