Copy a message

A user can copy and send their own message in the same channel or to another channel. Both user messages and file messages can be copied using the copyMessage() method.

Dart

try {
    final preMessage = channel.copyMessage(MESSAGE_TO_COPY, TARGET_CHANNEL, onCompleted: (msg, error) {
        // MESSAGE_TO_COPY can be either UserMessage or FileMessage.
        // The message is successfully copied to the target channel.
    });
} catch (e) {
    // Handle error.
}
