Webex Teams startPrivateConversation error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined #1913
Comments
Seeing the same issue. Perhaps an approach could be to go ahead and accept a required message parameter in startPrivateConversation (as well as startConversationInRoom). The function could then go ahead and send the message, await the response, and extract the roomId/from etc. so that context creation works correctly... |
