ConnectApi.FeedItemInput

Used to create rich feed items, for example, feed items that include @mentions or files.

Subclass of ConnectApi.FeedElementInput as of version 31.0.

Property	Type	Description	Required or Optional	Available Version
`attachment`	`ConnectApi.FeedItemAttachmentInput`	Specifies the attachment for the feed item. The feed item type is inferred based on the provided attachment. As of API version 32.0, use the inherited `capabilities` property. Important	Optional	28.0–31.0
`body`	`ConnectApi.MessageBodyInput`	Message body. The body can contain up to 10,000 characters and 25 mentions. Because the character limit can change, clients should make a `describeSObjects()` call on the FeedItem or FeedComment object and look at the length of the Body or CommentBody field to determine the maximum number of allowed characters. If you specify `originalFeedElementId` to share a feed item, use the `body` property to add the first comment to the feed item. To edit this property in a feed item, use `updateFeedElement(communityId, feedElementId, feedElement)`. Editing feed posts is supported in version 34.0 and later.	Required unless the feed item has a link capability or a content capability.	28.0
