Sending your first message
Follow the step-by-step instructions below to send your first message using the Javascript SDK
Step 1: Create a Robin Instance
To create a Robin
instance, pass the apiKey
as the first argument, and the optional tls
argument as the second in the Robin(apiKey, tls)
constructor.
Initializing the Chat SDK at the top of your Javascript file is recommended.
Step 2: Connect to Robin Server
You can connect to the Robin server using the connect(user_token)
method from the Robin
instance. If you do not have a Robin User Token (user_token), you would have to create one. What is the Robin User Token (RUT)?(specific link to create user token) is a good place to start.
All messages sent on Robin go through channels, you can learn more about channels on Robin Fundamentals

Before sending a message, you need to create a Conversation
Step 4: Send a message to Conversation
Now, you can send a message to a conversation with the robin.sendMessageToConversation()
method.
