Messaging- Scoped

The Messaging API provides methods to perform actions in a third-party messaging application.

This class requires the Messaging Notification plugin (com.glide.notification.messaging) and an integration with a third-party messaging application such as Slack or Teams. Use these methods in an action script in the Message Actions [messaging_observer_handler] table.

Use the sn_notification namespace to access the Messaging API.
