Chat bot send message without user initiating first

API and Webhooks
1

Description
I’m working on a chat bot to send alerts to users. The problem is I need the jid of the user to be able to send a message. I tried using GET /users/{email_here} to get the user jid but it returns an error Invalid api key or secret. The access token works for POST /im/chat/messages so I think the issue is not with the access token. Any advice? Thank you.

Error
{
“code”: 200,
“message”: “Invalid api key or secret.”
}

Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?

Hey @kebinjj,

To call the Get User endpoint, you can use your same Chat bot app, but you need to get a user access token instead of a chatbot access token. Checkout the guide here:

Thanks,
