Hi @yli,

When another user makes a post, you should receive a JSON-serialized message over the websocket like

```auto
{
    "event": "posted",
    "data": {
        "post": "{\"id\": \"1234\", \"message\": \"test message\"}" // a JSON-serialized Post object like you'd get from the API
    }
}

```

We’re working on proper documentation for our websocket API that will be available in a few days, but in the mean time, you can look [here](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/blob/master/webapp/actions/websocket_actions.jsx) for an example of how our web app handles them.
