messages

Create Group Conversation

Create a new group conversation.

Body params (as query for v1 simplicity):

  • title: 1..100 chars - the group's name.
  • members: list of usernames or user IDs to add (caller is added automatically). 1..49 other members → 2..50 total participants (matches WhatsApp's 256 cap loosely; 50 is plenty for a forum DM).

Eligibility: each member must pass check_dm_eligibility relative to the caller — anyone who blocks the caller or whose privacy gate fails is rejected upfront so the group never lands in an undeliverable state.
