Beschreibung

Find-or-create the account-wide 1-on-1 DM channel with another internal account member. A second call with the same participant returns the same chan_… id and un-archives a dormant DM (matching the web UI's "New DM" picker).

Use when chat_list_channels doesn't already show a DM with the partner. Both participants must be active internal members of the same account; guests cannot create, see, or receive DMs. DMing yourself is rejected. name on the returned channel is an opaque internal id — render the partner's handle in UI copy instead.

Zugriff
