Sending Mentions

[Jasper-J-R]

I'm having difficulty sending mentions and would appreciate any help you could provide.

The relevant code is below.
mentions = [{ "name": "OBFUSCATED_UUID", "number": None, "uuid": "OBFUSCATED_UUID", "start": 1, "length": 1 }]
await c.send("TEXT", None, mentions=mentions)
I would expect this to produce a mention based on the mentions json that I got when I saved the info from a real mention example, but it does not. Instead I get a [PingCommand] Error: in the signal-api-logfile.txt and nothing of note in the docker logs for the rest api.

The API for sending and receiving are slightly different. For sending a mention you should do:

 mentions = [{ "author": "OBFUSCATED_UUID", "start": 1, "length": 1 }]

You can check the API for it here https://bbernhard.github.io/signal-cli-rest-api/#/Messages/post_v2_send

This worked fine for me. I'm closing as resolved but feel free to reopen if you still have issues.

I'll add a comment to the functions to make this more clear to users of signalbot.
