Description

Since we can't create a private message for a viewer who was not explicitly added to the space (e.g. added through google group).

We make the bot to call findDirectMessage to find out the space name for the concerned user DM, and then use spaces.messages.create to send a DM msg.

The concerned bot name under "Direct Messages" is not displayed as Bold and the new msg is not shown as unread in "home" (as if there's no unread msgs). Though when you click into the bot DM, you then see "~~~~~~~~ 2 unread ~~~~~~~~"

This causes prob for end-users as they are not able to notice there's new msgs sent to them trough the bot.

Code

         const result = await chatClient.spaces.findDirectMessage({
            name: `${event.user.name}`
        });

        const channel = result.data.name;

        chatClient.spaces.messages.create({
            parent: channel,
            requestBody: msg
        });

Output

Steps

• logged in as the concerned user in gchat
• pre-add the bot in Direct Messages
• add that user through google group to a space
• invoke the "/xxx" cmd from that space
• make bot react to that slash cmd to attempt to send a DM msg
