Chat: Create Conversation API

You can now create team chats and channels programmatically with the new Create Conversation endpoint.

POST /chat/v1/conversations spins up a team (members can send messages) or channel (only admins post) conversation and assigns members via assignedUserIds and/or assignedSmartGroupIds. Grant admins with adminUserIds.

Combined with a custom publisher and chat webhooks, you can run a full two-way conversation — your integration posts into the chat as a publisher and the assigned user replies from the Connecteam app.

• Create a team chat or channel and assign users and/or smart groups
• Optionally set adminUserIds, isLocked, and isMembersHidden
• Requires an owner-level API key or the chat.write OAuth scope

See the Conversations guide — including the step-by-step Two-Way Conversation with a Custom Publisher walkthrough — and the API Reference.
