API Description

This API is used by the app backend to monitor users' one-to-one messages in real time, including:

• Records one-to-one messages sending in real time, for example, by recording a log or synchronizing the messages to other systems.
• Blocks users' requests to send one-to-one messages of any type, such as text, image, and custom messages.
• Modifies users' message content, for example, by filtering out restricted words or adding custom information defined by the app. Currently, this API cannot modify the content of rich media messages such as audio, image, file, and video, but can change these rich media messages to text or custom messages.

Notes

• To enable this callback, you must configure the callback URL and enable the corresponding protocol for this callback. For more information on the configuration method, see Third-Party Callback Configuration.
• During this callback, the IM backend initiates an HTTPS POST request to the app backend.
• After receiving the callback request, the app backend must check whether the SDKAppID contained in the request URL is the SDKAppID of the app.
• If the callback before sending one-to-one messages and the callback after sending one-to-one messages are both enabled and forbidding message sending is returned for the callback before sending one-to-one messages, the callback after sending one-to-one messages cannot be triggered.
• If the callback before sending one-to-one messages and the callback after sending one-to-one messages are both enabled and the message body is modified during the callback before sending one-to-one messages, the callback after sending one-to-one messages will use the modified message for callback.
• For more security considerations, see the Security Considerations section in Third-Party Callback Overview.

Callback Trigger Scenarios

• An app user sends a one-to-one message on the client.
• The app admin sends a one-to-one message by calling the sendmsg RESTful API.

Callback Trigger Time

The IM backend has received a one-to-one message sent by a user but has not delivered the message to the target user.

API Description

Sample request URL

In the following sample, the callback URL configured in the app is https://www.example.com.
Sample:

https://www.example.com?SdkAppid=$SDKAppID&CallbackCommand=$CallbackCommand&contenttype=json&ClientIP=$ClientIP&OptPlatform=$OptPlatform

Request parameters

Sample request

{
  "CallbackCommand": "C2C.CallbackBeforeSendMsg", // Callback command
  "From_Account": "jared", // Sender
  "To_Account": "Jonh", // Recipient
  "MsgSeq": 48374, // Sequence number of the message
  "MsgRandom": 2837546, // Random number of the message
  "MsgTime": 1557481126, // Timestamp in seconds indicating when the message is sent 
  "MsgKey": "48374_2837546_1557481126", // Unique identifier of the message. It can be used to recall the message via a RESTful API call.
  "MsgBody": [ // Message body. For more information, see the `TIMMessage` message object.
      {
          "MsgType": "TIMTextElem", // Text
          "MsgContent": {
              "Text": "red packet"
          }
      }
  ],
  "CloudCustomData": "your cloud custom data"
}

Request fields

Sample response when sending messages is allowed

The user is allowed to send messages, and the message content is not modified.

{
  "ActionStatus": "OK",
  "ErrorInfo": "",
  "ErrorCode": 0 // `0` indicates the user is allowed to send messages.
}

Sample response when sending messages is forbidden

The user is not allowed to send group messages. In this case, the message is not sent, and the error code 20006 is returned to the user (message sender).

{
  "ActionStatus": "OK",
  "ErrorInfo": "",
  "ErrorCode": 1 // `1` indicates that the user is not allowed to send messages.
}

Sample response when the message content is modified

In the following sample, the message sent by the user is modified (a custom message or custom message data is added), and the IM backend will send the modified message. With this feature, the app backend can add special content, such as the user level and title, to the message sent by the user.
Sample:

{
  "ActionStatus": "OK",
  "ErrorInfo": "",
  "ErrorCode": 0, // This field must be set to `0` so that the modified message can be sent normally.
  "MsgBody": [ // Message modified by the app backend. If the app backend does not modify the message, the message sent by the user is delivered.
      {
          "MsgType": "TIMTextElem", // Text
          "MsgContent": {
              "Text": "red packet"
          }
      },
      {
          "MsgType": "TIMCustomElem", // Custom message
          "MsgContent": {
              "Desc": " CustomElement.MemberLevel ", // Description
              "Data": " LV1" // Data
          }
      }
  ],
  "CloudCustomData": "your new cloud custom data" // Custom message data
}
