Open a Direct Message Between Two Users

Start or reuse a 1:1 channel and post the first message.

  1. Create a distinct group channel for the two users so the same pair always maps to one conversation.
  2. Send the first text message from the sender into the channel.
What you'll need to have ready
  • apiToken: Sendbird Api-Token from the dashboard.
  • senderId: User ID of the message sender.
  • recipientId: User ID of the message recipient.
  • message: Text content of the first message.
