FRONTEND GUIDE FOR AI CODING AGENTS - PART 11 - Messaging Service
This document is a part of a REST API guide for the linkedin project. It is designed for AI agents that will generate frontend code to consume the project’s backend.
This document provides extensive instruction for the usage of messaging
Service Access
Messaging service management is handled through service specific base urls.
Messaging service may be deployed to the preview server, staging server, or production server. Therefore,it has 3 access URLs. The frontend application must support all deployment environments during development, and the user should be able to select the target API server on the login page (already handled in first part.).
For the messaging service, the base URLs are:
- Preview:
https://linkedin.prw.mindbricks.com/messaging-api - Staging:
https://linkedin-stage.mindbricks.co/messaging-api - Production:
https://linkedin.mindbricks.co/messaging-api
Scope
Messaging Service Description
Handles direct, private 1:1 and group messaging between users, conversation management, and message history/storage…
Messaging service provides apis and business logic for following data objects in linkedin application. Each data object may be either a central domain of the application data structure or a related helper data object for a central concept. Note that data object concept is equal to table concept in the database, in the service database each data object is represented as a db table scheme and the object instances as table rows.
message Data Object: Message posted within a conversation. Tracks content, sender, readBy, and deletedFor status per user.
conversation Data Object: Messaging thread among users supporting 1:1 and group. Tracks participants, group status, and last message time.
API Structure
Object Structure of a Successful Response
When the service processes requests successfully, it wraps the requested resource(s) within a JSON envelope. This envelope includes the data and essential metadata such as configuration details and pagination information, providing context to the client.
HTTP Status Codes:
- 200 OK: Returned for successful GET, LIST, UPDATE, or DELETE operations, indicating that the request was processed successfully.
- 201 Created: Returned for CREATE operations, indicating that the resource was created successfully.
Success Response Format:
For successful operations, the response includes a "status": "OK" property, signaling that the request executed successfully. The structure of a successful response is outlined below:
{
"status":"OK",
"statusCode": 200,
"elapsedMs":126,
"ssoTime":120,
"source": "db",
"cacheKey": "hexCode",
"userId": "ID",
"sessionId": "ID",
"requestId": "ID",
"dataName":"products",
"method":"GET",
"action":"list",
"appVersion":"Version",
"rowCount":3,
"products":[{},{},{}],
"paging": {
"pageNumber":1,
"pageRowCount":25,
"totalRowCount":3,
"pageCount":1
},
"filters": [],
"uiPermissions": []
}
products: In this example, this key contains the actual response content, which may be a single object or an array of objects depending on the operation.
Additional Data
Each API may include additional data besides the main data object, depending on the business logic of the API. These will be provided in each API’s response signature.
Error Response
If a request encounters an issue—whether due to a logical fault or a technical problem—the service responds with a standardized JSON error structure. The HTTP status code indicates the nature of the error, using commonly recognized codes for clarity:
- 400 Bad Request: The request was improperly formatted or contained invalid parameters.
- 401 Unauthorized: The request lacked a valid authentication token; login is required.
- 403 Forbidden: The current token does not grant access to the requested resource.
- 404 Not Found: The requested resource was not found on the server.
- 500 Internal Server Error: The server encountered an unexpected condition.
Each error response is structured to provide meaningful insight into the problem, assisting in efficient diagnosis and resolution.
{
"result": "ERR",
"status": 400,
"message": "errMsg_organizationIdisNotAValidID",
"errCode": 400,
"date": "2024-03-19T12:13:54.124Z",
"detail": "String"
}
Message Data Object
Message posted within a conversation. Tracks content, sender, readBy, and deletedFor status per user.
Message Data Object Properties
Message data object has got following properties that are represented as table fields in the database scheme. These properties don’t stand just for data storage, but each may have different settings to manage the business logic.
| Property | Type | IsArray | Required | Secret | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
content |
Text | false | Yes | No | - |
senderUserId |
ID | false | Yes | No | - |
deletedFor |
ID | true | No | No | - |
readBy |
ID | true | No | No | - |
conversationId |
ID | false | Yes | No | - |
sentAt |
Date | false | No | No | - |
- Required properties are mandatory for creating objects and must be provided in the request body if no default value, formula or session bind is set.
Array Properties
deletedFor readBy
Array properties can hold multiple values. Array properties should be respected according to their multiple structure in the frontend in any user input for them. Please use multiple input components for the array proeprties when needed.
Relation Properties
senderUserId deletedFor readBy conversationId
Mindbricks supports relations between data objects, allowing you to define how objects are linked together. The relations may reference to a data object either in this service or in another service. Id the reference is remote, backend handles the relations through service communication or elastic search. These relations should be respected in the frontend so that instaead of showing the related objects id, the frontend should list human readable values from other data objects. If the relation points to another service, frontend should use the referenced service api in case it needs related data. The relation logic is montly handled in backend so the api responses feeds the frontend about the relational data. In mmost cases the api response will provide the relational data as well as the main one.
In frontend, please ensure that,
1- instaead of these relational ids you show the main human readable field of the related target data (like name), 2- if this data object needs a user input of these relational ids, you should provide a combobox with the list of possible records or (a searchbox) to select with the realted target data object main human readable field.
- senderUserId: ID
Relation to
user.id
The target object is a parent object, meaning that the relation is a one-to-many relationship from target to this object.
Required: Yes
- deletedFor: ID

Default CRUD APIs
For each data object, the backend architect may designate default APIs for standard operations (create, update, delete, get, list). These are the APIs that frontend CRUD forms and AI agents should use for basic record management. If no default is explicitly set (isDefaultApi), the frontend generator auto-discovers the most general API for each operation.
Message Default APIs
| Operation | API Name | Route | Explicitly Set |
|---|---|---|---|
| Create | createMessage |
/v1/messages |
Auto |
| Update | updateMessage |
/v1/messages/:messageId |
Auto |
| Delete | deleteMessage |
/v1/messages/:messageId |
Auto |
| Get | getMessage |
/v1/messages/:messageId |
Auto |
| List | listMessages |
/v1/messages |
Auto |
Conversation Default APIs
| Operation | API Name | Route | Explicitly Set |
|---|---|---|---|
| Create | createConversation |
/v1/conversations |
Auto |
| Update | updateConversation |
/v1/conversations/:conversationId |
Auto |
| Delete | deleteConversation |
/v1/conversations/:conversationId |
Auto |
| Get | getConversation |
/v1/conversations/:conversationId |
Auto |
| List | listConversations |
