Send Message

There are a few ways to communicate when using Rocket.Chat, as described below.

Sending a text message

The most basic (and more common) way to communicate is through plain text. You're going to use the sendMessage method and send a single parameter: the message.

The sendMessage is described as:

  • _id: The message id
  • rid: The room id for where to send this message
  • msg: The message body (the text of the message itself)
{
    "msg": "method",
    "method": "sendMessage",
    "id": "42",
    "params": [
        {
            "_id": "message-id",
            "rid": "room-id",
            "msg": "Hello World!"
        }
    ]
}

Sending a file

For sending a file we now recommend using the rest api:

See rooms.upload
