Core
Introduction
Welcome to the Sunshine Conversations API. The API allows you to craft entirely unique messaging experiences for your app and website as well as talk to any backend or external service.
The Sunshine Conversations API is designed according to REST principles.
The API accepts JSON in request bodies and requires that the content-type: application/json header be specified for all such requests. The API will always respond with an object. Depending on context, resources may be returned as single objects or as arrays of objects, nested within the response object.
In some cases, the API will also facilitate cross-origin resource sharing so that it can be called from a web application.
Regions
# Use US region (default)
export SMOOCH_ROOT=https://api.smooch.io
# Use EU region
export SMOOCH_ROOT=https://api.eu-1.smooch.io
// Use US region (default)
const smooch = new SmoochCore({
keyId: 'your-key-id',
secret: 'your-secret',
scope: 'app' // account or app
});
// Use EU region
const smooch = new SmoochCore({
keyId: 'your-key-id',
secret: 'your-secret',
scope: 'app', // account or app
serviceUrl: 'https://api.eu-1.smooch.io'
});
Sunshine Conversations is available in the following regions. Each Sunshine Conversations region has its own API host.
| Region | Host |
|---|---|
| United States | https://api.smooch.io |
| European Union | https://api.eu-1.smooch.io |
For more information on regions, visit the guide.
API Version
The latest version of the API is v1.1. Version v1 is still supported and you can continue using it but we encourage you to upgrade to the latest version. To learn more about API versioning at Sunshine Conversations, including instructions on how to upgrade to the latest version, visit our docs.
API Libraries
Sunshine Conversations provides official API libraries for JavaScript, Ruby, Python and Java. These helpful libraries wrap calls to the API and can make interfacing with Sunshine Conversations easier.
Postman Collection
In addition to api libraries, Sunshine Conversations also has a Postman collection that can be used for development or testing purposes. See the guide for information on how to install and use the collection in your Postman client.
Errors
401 Unauthorized
{
"error": {
"code": "unauthorized",
"description": "Authorization is required"
}
}
Sunshine Conversations uses standard HTTP status codes to communicate errors. In general, a 2xx status code indicates success while 4xx indicates an error, in which case, the response body includes a JSON error object, with a text code and description containing more details. A 5xx status code indicates that something went wrong on our end.
| Code | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| bad_request | 400 | Something in your header or request body was malformed. |
| not_an_image | 400 | Sunshine Conversations was expecting an URL to an image, but got something else. |
| payments_not_configured | 400 | A buy action was attempted but target channels do not support payments. |
| invalid_syntax | 400 | The provided shorthand syntax contains an error. |
| invalid_auth | 401 | Submitted credentials are either missing or malformed. |
| unauthorized | 401 | Insufficient credentials for access to the requested resource. |
| payment_required | 402 | The action is not available on your payment plan, or you have exceeded usage limits for your current plan. |
| trial_expired | 402 | Your API trial has expired. |
| forbidden | 403 | Your credentials are valid but you don’t have access to the requested resource. |
| not_found user_not_found app_not_found app_maker_not_found integration_not_found client_not_found menu_not_found conversation_not_found webhook_not_found processor_not_found message_not_found route_not_found |
404 | The object you’re requesting doesn’t exist. |
| request_entity_too_large | 413 | The request body exceeds the maximum allowed size. |
| conflict | 409 | You might be trying to update the same resource concurrently. |
| locked | 423 | The requested resource is temporarily unavailable. |
| too_many_requests | 429 | You are calling our APIs more frequently than we allow. |
| 5xx | Something went wrong on our end. |
Rate Limits
Sunshine Conversations APIs are subject to rate limiting. If the rate limit is exceeded Sunshine Conversations may return a 429 Too Many Requests HTTP status code. We apply rate limits to prevent abuse, spam, denial-of-service attacks, and similar issues. Our goal is to keep the limits high enough so that any application using Sunshine Conversations as intended will not encounter them, however usage spikes do occur and encountering a rate limit may be unavoidable. In order to avoid production outages, when calling the Sunshine Conversations API you should implement 429 retry logic using exponential backoff and jitter.
If your use case involves making API calls in bulk, please contact us. Sunshine Conversations will not change your rate limit, but we would like to understand your use case and perhaps offer suggestions.
Conversation Size Limits
Conversations are limited to 30,000 messages. Once you reach this maximum, a 423 Locked HTTP status code is returned when trying to post a new message. To allow more messages to be sent to the affected conversation, you must delete all messages to make room.
If your use case involves conversations that could exceed this limit, please contact us. We will not extend your limit, but we want to understand your use case better.
Request Size Limits
The Sunshine Conversations API imposes the following size limits on HTTP requests:
| Request Type | Limit |
|---|---|
| JSON | 100kb |
| File upload | 25mb |
Authorization
This is an overview of how authorization works with the Sunshine Conversations API.
Sunshine Conversations allows basic authentication or JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) as authentication methods for server-to-server calls. See below for more details.
There are two different authorization scopes available - app and account.
| Scope | Authorized Methods |
|---|---|
| app | All Core methods |
| account | All Core and Account Provisioning methods |
The app scope can be used to access any of the Sunshine Conversations Core APIs on behalf of a single app, or any app user related to that app.
The account scope can be used to access any of the Sunshine Conversations Core and Account Provisioning APIs on behalf of the account owner, any app belonging to the account, or any app user related to those apps.
Authentication
To authenticate requests to the API, you will need an API key, composed of a key id and a secret.
For an overview of how authentication works in Sunshine Conversations and instructions on how to generate an API key, see the guide.
API requests can be authenticated in two ways:
- With Basic authentication you can make requests using an API key directly.
- With JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) you sign tokens with an API key, which are then used to authenticate with the API. See When to Use JWTs? to learn if JWTs are relevant for your usage.
Before using an API key in produciton, make sure to familiarize yourself with best practices on how to securely handle credentials.
Basic Authentication
# Calling GET /v1/appusers using basic authentication
curl $SMOOCH_ROOT/v1/appusers/c7f6e6d6c3a637261bd9656f \
--user keyId:secret
API requests can be authenticated with basic authentication using an API key. The key id is used as the username and the secret as the password.
The scope of access is determined by the owner of the API key. See the guide for more details.
JWTs
# Calling GET /v1.1/appusers using a JWT
curl $SMOOCH_ROOT/v1.1/appusers/c7f6e6d6c3a637261bd9656f \
-H 'authorization: Bearer your-jwt'
// Initializing Sunshine Conversations Core in Node.js
var smooch = new SmoochCore({
keyId: 'your-key-id',
secret: 'your-secret',
scope: 'app' // account or app
});
JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) are an industry standard authentication method. The full specification is described here, and a set of supported JWT libraries for a variety of languages and platforms can be found at http://jwt.io. To summarize, a JWT is composed of a header, a payload, and a signature. The payload contains information called claims which describe the subject to whom the token was issued.
The JWT itself is transmitted via the HTTP authorization header. The token should be prefixed with “Bearer” followed by a space. For example: Bearer your-jwt.
To generate a JWT, you need an API key, which is composed of a key ID and a secret. The key ID is included in a JWT’s header, as the kid property, while the secret is used to sign the JWT.
For more in-depth coverage, see the guide.
Header
JWT header:
{
"alg": "HS256",
"typ": "JWT",
"kid": "act_5963ceb97cde542d000dbdb1"
}
The JWT header must contain the key id (kid) of the API key that is used to sign it. The algorithm (alg) used should be HS256. Unsigned JWTs are not accepted.
Payload
JWT payload with
accountscope:
{
"scope": "account"
}
JWT payload with
appscope claim:
{
"scope": "app"
}
The JWT payload must include a scope claim which specifies the caller’s scope of access.
-
account-scoped JWTs must be generated with an API key associated with a Sunshine Conversations account (act_) or service account (svc_). -
app-scoped JWTs can be generated with an API key associated with an app (app_).
Resource Paths
Resource path with account scope API key example
curl $SMOOCH_ROOT/v1.1/apps/5963c0d619a30a2e00de36b8/appusers/c7f6e6d6c3a637261bd9656f \
--user 'keyId:keySecret'
smooch.appUsers
.get({
appId: '5963c0d619a30a2e00de36b8',
userId: 'c7f6e6d6c3a637261bd9656f'
})
.then((response) => {
// async code
});
Resource path with app scope API key example
curl $SMOOCH_ROOT/v1.1/appusers/c7f6e6d6c3a637261bd9656f \
--user 'keyId:keySecret'
smooch.appUsers
.get({
userId: 'c7f6e6d6c3a637261bd9656f'
})
.then((response) => {
// async code
});
The app resource is implicitly defined when using basic authentication or JWTs with app API keys. However, most Sunshine Conversations REST API users will use an account scoped API key to authenticate their calls to the API, and will thus provide the full resource path in the URL. Accordingly, the API call examples in these docs will reflect the full resource path.
Webhooks
Webhooks are a fantastic way to extend the Sunshine Conversations platform beyond the built-in feature set. You can use webhooks to build your own Sunshine Conversations chat clients, to integrate more deeply with your favorite CRM, or to build a bot.
A webhook can only operate within the scope of a single Sunshine Conversations app.
Webhook triggers
When a webhook trigger is triggered, a POST request will be made to the URL configured in your webhook object along with a JSON payload specific for the event type.
Triggers are specified in an optional triggers array in the request body. If triggers is not specified the webhook will be configured with the message trigger by default.
Basic Triggers
| trigger | |
|---|---|
| message:appUser | only messages with role appUser |
| message:appMaker | only messages with role appMaker |
| message:delivery:channel | when a message is successfully delivered to a customer channel |
| message:delivery:user | when a message is successfully delivered to the user’s device |
| message:delivery:failure | when a message fails to be delivered to a customer channel or the user’s device |
| notification:delivery:channel | when a notification is successfully delivered to a customer channel |
| notification:delivery:user | when a notification is successfully delivered to the user’s device |
| notification:delivery:failure | when a notification fails to be delivered to a customer channel or the user’s device |
| appUser:delete | when an app user is deleted through the Delete App User endpoint |
| conversation:start | when a user opts in to start receiving messages |
| conversation:read | when a user reads a conversation |
| conversation:referral | when a user scans a Messenger code, clicks an ad on Facebook or scans a WeChat QR code |
| postback | when a user clicks on a postback action |
| merge:appUser | when two or more users are merged into one |
| payment:success | when a payment is successfully received from a channel |
| link:success | when a new channel is successfully linked to a user |
| link:failure | when a user link fails |
| link:match | when a user is successfully matched to an external system |
| client:add | when a new client has been added to an existing user |
| client:block | when a client has been marked as blocked |
| client:remove | when a new client has been removed from an existing user |
| * | when any of the above basic triggers occurs |
Additional Triggers
In addition to the basic triggers above, there are some additional triggers that are not included in the wildcard trigger (*), and must be subscribed to explicitly.
| trigger | |
|---|---|
| typing:appUser | when a user starts or stops typing |

Message Delivery Events
Delivery events expose the delivery steps that a message takes to be delivered to a user:
- Channel delivery confirmation The message is delivered to the channel (e.g. WhatsApp), represented by the
message:delivery:channeltrigger. - User delivery confirmation The message is delivered to the user, represented by the
message:delivery:usertrigger. - Delivery failure The message could not be delivered (either to the channel or to the user), represented by the
message:delivery:failuretrigger.
See the delivery events guide for more information.
Note that each delivery webhook is guaranteed to trigger at-most-once per message._id and destination.type combination. In other words, it’s possible for a Sunshine Conversations message to be delivered to many channels, but it can only be delivered once per channel. To understand how Sunshine Conversations selects the channel(s) to which a message is delivered, see Automatic message delivery.

A client:add webhook triggers when a client is added to an existing appUser. This can occur as a result of a login, channel link, or when an SDK consumes an auth code.
In channel linking cases the client:add event only fires when the link has been completed. For example, if a user declines when prompted to link Facebook Messenger, client:add will not trigger. Link failures such as this can be detected with the link:failure trigger.
Exceptions:
Sunshine Conversations automatically creates new appUsers upon receipt of their first message. In these cases, a client:add event does not fire. New users created in this way should be recognized via the message:appUser trigger, which includes the client object in the payload.
An existing client might also be moved from one appUser to another as a result of a merge. In this case, a merge:appUser event is signalled in lieu of a client:add event.

A client:remove webhook triggers when a client is removed from an existing appUser. This can happen when a channel is unlinked via the channel API.
A channel link action might also cause an existing third party client to change ownership from one appUser to another. In this case both a client:remove and client:add trigger will be fired.

Securing Sunshine Conversations Webhooks
When a webhook is created, a shared secret will be generated for it. The secret can be used to determine the veracity of a request to your webhook route. It is included as an X-API-Key header with each webhook request sent to the target URL.
That secret is available in the response to the POST request used to generate the webhook, or through a GET request to the webhook route.
Retry policy
A webhook call will be attempted up to 5 times over a 15 minute window. The attempts will happen at an exponentially increasing interval if the target responds with anything but a success (2XX) or a non-recoverable error. If no response is received within 20 seconds, the call will be considered a failure and will also be reattempted.
Non-recoverable Errors
The following status codes are deemed to be non-recoverable and Sunshine Conversations will not reattempt a call when receiving a response with them:
- 400: The target exists, but can’t process the payload.
- 401: The target is behind authentication or doesn’t recognize the webhook secret.
- 403: Sunshine Conversations should not be calling the target.
- 404: The target doesn’t exist.
- 406: The target exists, and rejected the webhook intentionally.
App User
The app user object represents an end user using your app. The app user document contains basic profile information such as givenName, surname, email, and avatarUrl as well as any custom user properties you choose to configure.
The /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers path gives you APIs that can be used to update the user’s properties, retrieve conversation history, post a message, and track app user events.
userId
App users may be created with an optional userId parameter. This is a unique identifier that is chosen by the API consumer and it can be used to associate Sunshine Conversations users with an external user directory, and to synchronize a single conversation across multiple clients. To understand how this works, see the section covering user authentication.
Profile properties
Profile properties, also referred to as custom properties, are a set of key/value pairs that are specific to your application domain, or use case. These fields are stored under the properties field of an appUser, and can have values of type Number, String, or Boolean. For more information, see the section covering user information management.

In other words, omitting a field will not delete that field. To delete a sub-field in the properties field, set its value to null in the request body.
| Arguments | |
|---|---|
| givenName optional |
The user’s given name (first name). |
| surname optional |
The user’s surname (last name). |
| email optional |
The user’s email address. |
| avatarUrl optional |
The URL for the user’s avatar. |
| signedUpAt optional |
The date at which the user signed up. Must be ISO 8601 time format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ). |
| properties optional |
A flat object containing custom defined user properties. These properties can be deleted by setting their value to null. |

POST /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers
| Arguments | |
|---|---|
| userId required |
A unique identifier for the app user. The userId can be used to link a user to the same conversation across multiple clients. |
| givenName optional |
The user’s given name (first name). |
| surname optional |
The user’s surname (last name). |
| email optional |
The user’s email address. |
| avatarUrl optional |
The URL for the user’s avatar. |
| signedUpAt optional |
The date at which the user signed up. Must be ISO 8601 time format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ). |
| properties optional |
A flat object containing custom defined user properties. |
In the vast majority of cases app users will be automatically created by the Sunshine Conversations SDKs or Messaging Channel integrations. In some cases however it might be necessary to pre-create an app user object before that user runs your app for the first time. This API facilitates this scenario. A userId must be specified so that a future login call made from a device can use the same userId to link the device to the pre-created app user.
Suppose for example you begin a conversation with an end user bob@example.com over email and you wish to transfer this conversation history over into Sunshine Conversations once that user logs in to your app. To facilitate this, you can call POST /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers to pre-create a Sunshine Conversations identity with userId bob@example.com, to which you can import that existing conversation history. After Bob signs in to your app and your app calls login with the same userId, they will see their conversation history.

POST /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers/{smoochId|userId}/channels
| Arguments | |
|---|---|
| type required |
The channel to link. Can be twilio, messagebird, or whatsapp. |
| integrationId optional |
The integration to link. Must match the provided type. Required when there are multiple integrations matching the passed type. |
| {entity} required |
The required entity for linking. This is different for each channel. |
| confirmation required |
The confirmation option for linking. |
| primary optional |
Default is true. Flag indicating whether the client will become the primary once linking is complete. |
Some extra arguments are supported depending on the selected type.
Linking allows users to continue conversations on their preferred channels. An appUser’s linked channels will be found in the clients field.
When a link request is first made, the channel will be added to the pendingClients field. At this point, the API call will be considered a success and a response will be returned.
Future updates on the status of the link request can be tracked by listening to the link:match, link:success and link:failure webhooks.
Linking confirmation
The confirmation option allows you to specify the strategy used to initiate a link with the target user.
| Arguments | |
|---|---|
| type required |
The type of confirmation. Types include immediate, userActivity or prompt. |
| message |
The message used to reach out to the user. Must be a valid message object as per the post message API. |
Immediate
Available on: Twilio, MessageBird, Messenger, WhatsApp
If you specify an immediate confirmation, Sunshine Conversations will not wait for the user to confirm the link before converting the pending client to a full client. On a successful link, the link:success webhook will be triggered.
If the message property is provided, Sunshine Conversations will attempt to deliver it to the channel prior to completing the link. Successfully sending this message will trigger a link:match webhook. Failure to deliver this message will result in a link:failure webhook, and the pending client will be removed from the user.
User activity
Available on: Twilio, MessageBird and WhatsApp
If you specify a userActivity confirmation, Sunshine Conversations will wait for the user to confirm the link before converting the pending client to a full client. If the user performs an activity acknowledging the message was received (for example accepting the prompt via SMS), the link:success webhook will be triggered.
The message property is mandatory for this confirmation type. Sunshine Conversations will attempt to deliver it to the channel prior to listening for the user’s activity. This is a good opportunity to welcome the user to the new channel and invite them to begin messaging you there. Successfully sending this message will trigger a link:match webhook. Failure to deliver this message will result in a link:failure webhook, and the pending client will be removed from the user.
Prompt
Available on: Twilio, MessageBird
If you specify a prompt confirmation, the user will be prompted to either accept or deny your link request. The message sent to prompt the user can’t be customized.
Successfully sending the prompt will trigger a link:match webhook. Failure to deliver this message or a denial of the prompt will result in a link:failure webhook, and the pending client will be removed from the user.
Linkable channels and entities
Given that there is no way for you to provide Sunshine Conversations with the necessary ID to connect LINE, WeChat or Telegram, we have limited the API to accept ‘Twilio’, WhatsApp, and ‘MessageBird’ for now.
| Channel type | Required entity | Extra properties |
|---|---|---|
twilio, messagebird, whatsapp |
phoneNumber A String of the appUser’s phone number. It must contain the + prefix and the country code.Examples of valid phone numbers: +1 212-555-2368, +12125552368, +1 212 555 2368.Examples of invalid phone numbers: 212 555 2368, 1 212 555 2368. |

| Query Parameter | Description |

A user who begins their conversation via one of the Sunshine Conversations SDKs may wish to transfer the conversation to a different preferred channel. For example, a user may leave you a message on your website and ask to be notified by Facebook as soon as you respond.
The link request API facilitates this transfer. The API will generate a transfer URL designed to work for a given channel type. When a user clicks or taps this link they will be connected to your business presence on the given channel. Sunshine Conversations embeds a one time code in the URL that allows the channel to be securely linked to the user’s existing Sunshine Conversations identity. Messages sent over this new channel will also be synchronized with the user’s existing conversation.
Multiple link requests can be made at once so that you may render them as a list of options for the user to choose from.
Link requests are currently supported by Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Viber, and WhatsApp channels.
| Channel | Link URL works on: |
|---|---|
| Facebook Messenger | browser, mobile |
| Telegram | browser, mobile |
| Viber | mobile (Viber app must be installed) |
| browser, mobile (WhatsApp must be installed) |

POST /v1.1/apps/{appId}/appusers/{smoochId|userId}/messages
Post a message to or from the app user. If the app user does not yet have a conversation, one will be created automatically. Messages must have a role of either appUser or appMaker.
A message must also have a type specifying the type of message you’re trying to send.
Images can be posted by URL (either self-hosted or pre-uploaded using the Sunshine Conversations attachments API) using this API via the image type.
| Arguments | |
|---|---|
| role required |
The role of the individual posting the message. Can be either appUser or appMaker. |
| type required |
The type of the message being posted. Can be text, image, file, carousel, list, location, or form. |
| subroles optional |
A string array that indicates the author’s subtypes. Messages with the appMaker role that include AI will assume that an AI generated the message and will postfix a disclaimer to the message text sent to the customer. For 3rd party channels, the disclaimer is applied for text, image, file message types. |
| name optional |
The display name of the message author. Messages with role appUser will default to a friendly name based on the user’s givenName and surname. Messages with role appMaker have no default name. |
| email optional |
The email address of the message author. In app maker messages this field is typically used to identify them for the rendering of the avatar in the app user client. If the email of the Sunshine Conversations account is used, the configured profile avatar will be used. Otherwise, any gravatar matching the specified email will be used as the message avatar. In app user messages the avatarUrl present in the user’s profile is the default used when one is not provided directly in the message. Like for app maker messages, a gravatar fetched based on the email is the last fallback. |
| avatarUrl optional |
The URL of the desired message avatar image. This field will override an avatar URL present in an app user’s profile or one chosen via the email parameter. |
| destination optional |
The channel where you want your message delivered to. This only works for messages with role appMaker. See Channel Targeting for more information. |
| metadata optional |
Flat object containing any custom properties associated with the message. If you are developing your own messaging client you can use this field to render custom message types. See the metadata schema for more information. |
| payload optional |
The payload of a reply action, if applicable |
| messageSchema optional |
When messageSchema is set to "whatsapp", a message key is required and is expected to conform to the native WhatsApp schema for sending message templates. For more details, consult the documentation for sending message templates on WhatsApp. |
| message optional |
A nested object conforming to the native WhatsApp schema for sending message templates. Only supported when messageSchema is passed with value "whatsapp". When specified, the resulting Sunshine Conversations message will be constructed automatically from this payload. Any conflicting message content passed at the root of the request body will be ignored (i.e. the type of the message, and any type dependant fields). |
Channel Targeting
Using channel targeting, a business can bypass the automatic delivery logic and select a specific channel type (or integration ID) instead. To do this, include a destination object in the message payload and provide one of the following:
| Arguments | |
|---|---|
| integrationId optional |
The integration ID. See List Integrations. |
| integrationType optional |
The integration type. See List Integrations. |
If the user does not have a client linked to the targeted channel, a 404 client_not_found error will be returned.

POST /v1.1/apps/{appId}/attachments/remove
Remove an attachment uploaded to Sunshine Conversations through the upload attachment API.
See Attachments for Messages to have attachments automatically deleted when deleting messages or users.
| Arguments | |
|---|---|
| mediaUrl required |
The media URL used for a file or image message. |
Attachments for Messages
The attachments API allows you to upload a file for the purpose of sending a message.
Using the for parameter, you can signal to Sunshine Conversations that your upload will be used to send a message to a user.
Knowing this, Sunshine Conversations will safely delete the attachment when the message or app user is deleted.
Templates
You can create message templates that will allow you to send complex messages such as carousel or list via convenient shorthand.
For more information on the application of templates, see our guide.

Carousel messages are a horizontally scrollable set of items that may each contain text, an image, and message actions. Not all messaging channels fully support carousel messages; currently only Facebook Messenger, LINE, Telegram, Viber, the Web Messenger, the Android SDK and the iOS SDK cover the full functionality. For all other platforms a carousel message is rendered as raw text. The raw text fallback does not include any images or postback message actions. See Common message properties for more information.
| Arguments | |
|---|---|
| items required |
Array of message items. The array is limited to 10 items. |
| displaySettings optional |
Settings to adjust the carousel layout. See Display Settings. |
Display Settings
A business can modify a carousel message layout by including an optional displaySettings object. Supported settings are:
| Arguments | |
|---|---|
| imageAspectRatio optional |
Specifies how to display all carousel images. Valid values are horizontal (default) and square. |
Channel Support
Sunshine Conversations will deliver carousel messages to users across all messaging channels regardless of whether or not a given channel can natively render a carousel message UI. For channels that don’t render carousels, a raw text representation is sent. In the future, the Sunshine Conversations API will expand to support new messaging app carousel experiences as they become available. For current messaging channels, carousel messages will render in the following ways:
Facebook Messenger
Full support.
Telegram
Full support, with cards arranged vertically.
LINE
Full support.
Viber
Full support.
Web Messenger
Full support.
Android
Full support.
iOS
Full support.
All Other Channels
Sample Raw Text Format:
1. Tacos
Description
More info http://example.org
2. Ramen
Description
More info http://example.org
Text fallback.

List messages are a vertically scrollable set of items that may each contain text, an image, and message actions. Not all messaging channels fully support list messages. See Common message properties for more information.
- Facebook Messenger has native support.
- For LINE and our Android, iOS and Web SDK, Sunshine Conversations converts list messages to carousel.
- On WhatsApp, Telegram and Twitter, Sunshine Conversations converts list messages to multiple rich messages.
- On all other platforms, Sunshine Conversations converts list messages to raw text.
| Arguments | |
|---|---|
| items required |
Array of message items. The array is limited to 10 items. |
| actions optional |
Array of message actions. |
Channel Support
Sunshine Conversations will deliver list messages to users across all messaging channels regardless of whether or not a given channel can natively render a list message UI. For channels that don’t render lists, a raw text representation is sent. In the future, the Sunshine Conversations API will expand to support new messaging app list experiences as they become available. For current messaging channels, list messages will render in the following ways:
Facebook Messenger
List messages are supported natively in Facebook Messenger. However, note that list messages sent with multiple actions either in a message item or the message itself will be truncated, as only 1 action is supported.
LINE
LINE doesn’t support list messages natively. When a list message is sent to a LINE user, the items array will be sent as a carousel message. The actions array will be sent as a separate message.
Telegram
Telegram doesn’t support list messages natively. When a list message is sent to a Telegram user, it will be sent as multiple messages. Each item in the items array will be converted to one message. Another message will be sent with the contents of the actions array if it’s non-empty.
Android, iOS and Web SDK
Our Android, iOS and Web SDK don’t support native list messages. When a SDK receives a list message, it displays the items as a carousel message and the actions are truncated.
All Other Channels
Sample Raw Text Format:
1. Tacos
Description
More info http://example.org
2. Ramen
Description

Text fallback.

Account Provisioning
Introduction
If you’re looking to enable messaging inside your product for your customers, with as much control over the experience as you’d like, you can create and control Sunshine Conversations apps programmatically using Account Provisioning.
Authentication
Account Provisioning endpoints require account scope. See the authorization and authentication sections for information.
A user account API key (key id that starts with act_) can access all account provisioning routes. You can create an account key by going to your account page.
A service account API key (key id that starts with svc_) may be used to manage apps, but not service accounts or service account keys.
| Key Type | Authorized Methods |
|---|---|
| act | All Core and Account Provisioning methods. |
| svc | All Core methods, App Management methods, and App Keys methods. |
Service Accounts
Service Account schema and endpoints used for provisioning service accounts. A service account represents an API user, with its own set of credentials, that only has access to a certain subset of apps. For software makers that create apps on behalf of separate customers or businesses, service accounts can be used to generate and distribute credentials that only have access to a single business’ data.

Schema
App schema
The schema describes the fields you can expect to be associated with an app.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| _id | A canonical ID that can be used to retrieve the Sunshine Conversations app. Also used to initialize Sunshine Conversations’ Mobile and Web SDKs. |
| appToken (deprecated) | A public token used to initialize older versions of the Sunshine Conversations Mobile and Web SDKs. |
| name | The friendly name of the app. |
| settings | Customizable app settings (see app settings). |
| metadata | Flat object containing any custom properties associated with the app. See metadata schema for more information. |
Truncated app schema
A truncated version of the app sent with webhook payloads.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| _id | A canonical ID that can be used to retrieve the Sunshine Conversations app. Also used to initialize Sunshine Conversations’ Mobile and Web SDKs. |
App settings
Apps have a number of settings that can be used to customize specific behaviors.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| conversationRetentionSeconds optional | Number of seconds of inactivity before a conversation’s messages will be automatically deleted. See below. |
| maskCreditCardNumbers optional | A boolean specifying whether credit card numbers should be masked when sent through Sunshine Conversations. |
| useAnimalNames optional | A boolean specifying whether animal names should be used for unnamed users. See the user naming guide for details. |
| echoPostback optional | A boolean specifying whether a message should be added to the conversation history when a postback button is clicked. See below. |
| ignoreAutoConversationStart optional | A boolean specifying whether a non message event coming from a channel will trigger a start conversation event and count as a monthly active user (MAU). Note: Calling startConversation() (or equivalent) from the Android, iOS or Web SDK will count as a MAU, regardless of the value of this setting. |
Conversation Retention Seconds
The conversationRetentionSeconds setting dictates a period of time after which an inactive conversation will have its messages deleted. The deletion behavior is similar to when an appUser‘s messages are deleted, meaning the messages will be deleted, but the appUser and any associated channels will remain. There is a separate API that can be used to fully delete an appUser. As long as a conversation continues to receive regular activity, messages will not expire. Activities that will prevent message expiration include:
- A message is added to the conversation
- A postback event is triggered
Conversations that are created before conversationRetentionSeconds is set will not be affected by this setting until a new activity is detected.
If conversationRetentionSeconds is left unset, no automatic message deletion will take place. The setting may be set to 0 in order to disable automatic message deletion upon new message activity. If nonzero, the minimum setting is 1 hour (3600 seconds).
Echo Postbacks
echoPostback controls whether a message should be added to the conversation history when a postback button is clicked. When enabled, An appUser message is silently added to the conversation, without a corresponding message:appUser webhook being triggered.
The echoPostback setting works with any channel that supports postback actions natively (including Facebook Messenger, Twitter DM, Telegram, LINE and all Sunshine Conversations SDKs). In some channels Sunshine Conversations offers partial support for postback buttons via text fallback. For these channels, the user needs to answer with a message matching the postback action text. In this case, the user’s message will always be added to the conversation history.
App Keys
This set of endpoints is used to provision and revoke API keys for a Sunshine Conversations app. An app can have a maximum of 10 keys.

Sunshine Conversations Connect
Introduction
Sunshine Conversations has a rapidly growing partner ecosystem which helps you unlock messaging in your product or service and lets customers find you alongside complementary partners. If you’re interested in becoming a partner, tell us what you’re building with Sunshine Conversations using our partner application and we’ll provision you with everything you’ll need to build your end of the OAuth flow using Sunshine Conversations Connect. In the meantime the OAuth endpoints detailed below can be tested by impersonating Shoplifter, a partnership we built for testing purposes.

This HTML template can be used to place an “Add to Sunshine Conversations” button on your website.
Sample Application
An open source sample application implementing Sunshine Conversations Connect has been created to help demonstrate how to get it working. Give Shoplifter a try.
The source code is available here.
OAuth Endpoints
Authorize
Request:
curl https://app.smooch.io/oauth/authorize?client_id=shoplifter&response_type=code
// This endpoint is not currently wrapped in a JavaScript lib
GET https://app.smooch.io/oauth/authorize
This endpoint begins the OAuth flow. It relies on a browser session for authentication. If the user is not logged in to Sunshine Conversations they will be redirected to the login page. If the user has many apps, they will first be prompted to select the one they wish to integrate with. They will then be presented with an Allow/Deny dialog, describing details of the access your integration is requesting.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| client_id required |
Your integration’s unique identifier. |
| response_type required |
For now the only acceptable value is code. |
| state optional |
You may pass in any arbitrary string value here which will be returned to you along with the code via browser redirect. |
| redirect_uri optional |
You may pass in a redirect_uri to determine which URI the response is redirected to. This URI must be contained in the list configured by your integration. If this option is not passed, the first URI present in the list will be used. |
Success Response
A successful response is delivered via a 302 redirect to the redirect URI configured by your integration.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| code | An authorization code which can be exchanged for an access token. |
| state | Your state parameter (if one was provided). |
Error Response
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| error | For example: access_denied |
| state | Your state parameter (if one was provided) |
Error Codes
| Error Code | Delivery Method | Description |
|---|---|---|
| access_denied | 302 | The user denied access |
Get Token
Request:
curl -X POST https://api.smooch.io/oauth/token \
-d code=your_code \
-d grant_type=authorization_code \
-d client_id=shoplifter \
-d client_secret=secret
// This endpoint is not currently wrapped in a JavaScript lib
POST https://app.smooch.io/oauth/token
This endpoint is used to exchange an authorization code for an access token. It should only be used in server-to-server calls.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| code required |
The authorization code received via /oauth/authorize |
| grant_type required |
Must be set to the literal string: authorization_code |
| client_id required |
Your integration’s unique identifier |
| client_secret required |
Your integration’s secret |
Success Response:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| access_token | An access token that can now be used to call Sunshine Conversations APIs. |
| token_type | Bearer. All issued tokens are of this type. |
Scope
The scope of an issued access token is integration scope. This allows API calls to be made to a specific Sunshine Conversations app on behalf of an integration, identified by the integration’s clientId. The access token grants permission to get and create app users and conversations associated with the app. The token also grants permission to create webhooks, however only webhooks created for the integration will be visible. An access token with integration scope cannot see or modify webhooks that were created by other integrations, for example.
| API Root | Access |
|---|---|
| /v1.1/appusers/* | Yes |
| /v1.1/webhooks/* | Yes |
| /v1.1/apps/* | No |
| /v1.1/integrations/* | No |
| /v1.1/menu/* | No |
Revoke Access
Request:
curl -X DELETE https://api.smooch.io/oauth/authorization \
-H 'authorization: Bearer your-access-token'
// This endpoint is not currently wrapped in a JavaScript lib
Response:
200 OK
DELETE https://app.smooch.io/oauth/authorization
This endpoint is used to revoke your integration’s access to the user’s Sunshine Conversations app. Revoking access means your integration will no longer be able to interact with the app, and any webhooks the integration had previously configured will be removed.
Calling this endpoint is equivalent to the user removing your integration manually in the Sunshine Conversations web app. Your integration’s removeUrl (if configured) will also be called when an integration is removed in this way.
