Post a Rich-Text Comment with Inline Image

Make a call or use the ConnectApiHelper repository to post a comment with an already uploaded, inline image.

You can post rich-text comments with inline images and mentions two ways. Use the ConnectApiHelper repository on GitHub to write a single line of code, or use this example, which calls postCommentToFeedElement(communityId, feedElementId, comment, feedElementFileUpload). In this example, the image file is existing content that has already been uploaded to Salesforce.

1String communityId = null;
2String feedElementId = '0D5R0000000SBEr';
3String imageId = '069R00000000IgQ';
4String mentionedUserId = '005R0000000DiMz';
