Using this action, you can create a group chat and add and remove members from the group chat.

Before You Begin:

You'll need to set up the chat and add the pages required to build the group chat.

Types of group chat action

Following are the actions available for group chat:

1. Create Group Chat: This creates a new group and adds members.

2. Add Group Member(s): This adds new members to the existing group.

3. Remove Group Member(s): This removes members from the group.
