+    id: {
+        roomId: "j75xqXy25NBOdacUI3FNBH"
+    }
+}
+
+const intentResolution = await fdc3.raiseIntent('ViewChat', chatRoom);
+
+const chatRoom = intentResolution.getResult(): // A chatRoom will be returned as context if the room was found
+```
+
+## Example: Contact
+
+```js
+const contact = {
+    type: 'fdc3.contact',
+    name: 'Jane Doe',
+    id: {
+        email: 'jane@mail.com'
+    }
+}
+
+const intentResolution = await fdc3.raiseIntent('ViewChat', contact);
+
+const chatRoom = intentResolution.getResult(): // A chatRoom will be returned as context if the direct chat was found
+```
+
+## Example: ContactList
+
+```js
+const contacts = {
+    type: 'fdc3.contactList',
+    contacts: [
+        {
+            type: 'fdc3.contact',
+            name: 'Jane Doe',
+            id: {
+                email: 'jane.doe@mail.com'
+            }

+            name: 'John Doe',
+            id: {
+                email: 'john.doe@mail.com'
+            }
+        },
+    ]
+}
+
+
+const intentResolution = await fdc3.raiseIntent('ViewChat', contacts);
