# ncl_chat.chat_send_message: Nextcloud Package for chat operations that could not be mapped to a table. ncl_chat.chat_send_message: Nextcloud Package for chat operations that could not be mapped to a table. The author and timestamp are automatically set to the current user/guest and time.Parameters of Procedure The following parameters can be used to control the behaviour of the procedure `ncl_chat.chat_send_message`. A value must be provided at all times for required parameters, but optional parameters in general do not need to have a value and the execution will default to a pre-defined behaviour. Values can be specified by position and by name. In both cases, all parameters not specified will be evaluated using their default values. Value specification by position is done by listing all values from the first to the last needed value. For example: a `begin package.procedure(value1, value2, value3); end` on a procedure with four parameters will use the default value for the fourth parameter and the specified values for the first three. Value specification by name is done by listing all values that require a value. For example with `begin package.procedure(name1 => value1, name3 => value3); end` on the same procedure will use the default values for the second and fourth parameters and the specified values for the first and third. | Name | Data Type | Required | Default Value | Documentation | |---|:---:|:---:|:---:|---| | `message` | `string` | ☑ | | the message to send | | `actorDisplayName` | `string` | ☐ | | for guests | | `referenceId` | `string` | ☐ | | for the message to be able to later identify it again | | `replyTo` | `int64` | ☐ | 0 | Parent id which this message is a reply to | | `silent` | `boolean` | ☐ | False | If sent silent the chat message will not create any notifications | | `threadTitle` | `string` | ☐ | | Only supported when not replying, when given will create a thread (requires `threads` capability) | | `threadId` | `int64` | ☐ | 0 | Thread id which this message is a reply to without quoting a specific message (ignored when $replyTo is given, also requires `threads` capability) | | `p_apiVersion` | `string` | ☑ | | Values: v1. | | `p_token` | `string` | ☑ | | | | `p_x-nextcloud-federation` | `string` | ☐ | | Set to 1 when the request is performed by another Nextcloud Server to indicate a federation request |
