End or Inactivate a Messaging Session

Ends or suspends a messaging session.

Only use this API if routing is partner-owned (if ConversationChannelDefinition.routingOwner is set to Partner).

Use this API to end or suspend a messaging session while noting whether the action came from a Messaging End User or your partner system. The End or Inactivate a Messaging Session API doesn’t rely on an End Chat UI component interaction in Salesforce or the session inactivation timeout set by the Salesforce admin in the Messaging Channel. The partner system uses this API to notify Salesforce if a chat has ended or become inactive. The rep can then receive a status notification, start After Conversation Work, if enabled, and move on to the next session or work item.

This API applies to the following product:

  • Bring Your Own Channel for Contact Center as a Service

This API is available in version 65.0 and later.
