Hi everyone, it’s my first post here, i’m glad to be with you guys.
So, the point is, i’m trying to find a way to trigger my nodeJS application every time a user receives a new message, i’d made something like this for a group chat last week using outgoing for a trigger word.
I made a research and i didn’t find any post usefull so, i’m here to ask for your help.
Is it possible to user the outgoing method to this case or i need to make something like a fork that checks for a new message every second?
So, i want to make a call to my api method, every time that my bot account receives a new private message.
Maybe i don’t understand how websockets work, but i’m affraid that doing filters on my api will increase the number of requests what can make my api very slow.
The perfect solution will be something like the outgoing webhooks but make the trigger be “new private message of user”.
You can use an outgoing for getting the messages and the API to execute the command, that would be a single call if you have already authenticated to the API for the duration of that token.
So initializing it you would login, get token, then you can call the execute command directly without authenticating every time.
It was not supposed to link to websocket, but to the execute commands, my bad, for some reason my previous reply linked to the wrong item in the API documentation, right one is:
