AWS CLI Command Reference

[ aws . chime-sdk-messaging ]

send-channel-message

Description

Sends a message to a particular channel that the member is a part of.

Note

The x-amz-chime-bearer request header is mandatory. Use the ARN of the AppInstanceUser or AppInstanceBot that makes the API call as the value in the header.

Also, STANDARD messages can be up to 4KB in size and contain metadata. Metadata is arbitrary, and you can use it in a variety of ways, such as containing a link to an attachment.

CONTROL messages are limited to 30 bytes and do not contain metadata.

--channel-arn (string)

The ARN of the channel.

--content (string)

The content of the channel message.

--type (string)

The type of message, STANDARD or CONTROL .

  • STANDARD
  • CONTROL

--persistence (string)

Boolean that controls whether the message is persisted on the back end. Required.

Possible values:

  • PERSISTENT
  • NON_PERSISTENT

--metadata (string)

The optional metadata for each message.

--client-request-token (string)

The Idempotency token for each client request.

--chime-bearer (string)

The ARN of the AppInstanceUser or AppInstanceBot that makes the API call.

--push-notification (structure)

The push notification configuration of the message.

Title -> (string)

The title of the push notification.

Body -> (string)

The body of the push notification.

Type -> (string)

Enum value that indicates the type of the push notification for a message. DEFAULT : Normal mobile push notification. VOIP : VOIP mobile push notification.

Shorthand Syntax:

Title=string,Body=string,Type=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Title": "string",
  "Body": "string",
  "Type": "DEFAULT"|"VOIP"
}

--message-attributes (map)

The attributes for the message, used for message filtering along with a FilterRule defined in the PushNotificationPreferences .

key -> (string)

value -> (structure)

A list of message attribute values.

StringValues -> (list)

The strings in a message attribute value.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=StringValues=string,string,KeyName2=StringValues=string,string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": {
      "StringValues": ["string", ...]
    }
  ...}

--sub-channel-id (string)

The ID of the SubChannel in the request.

--content-type (string)

The content type of the channel message.

--target (list)

The target of a message. Must be a member of the channel, such as another user, a bot, or the sender. Only the target and the sender can view targeted messages. Only users who can see targeted messages can take actions on them. However, administrators can delete targeted messages that they can’t see.

(structure)

The target of a message, a sender, a user, or a bot. Only the target and the sender can view targeted messages. Only users who can see targeted messages can take actions on them. However, administrators can delete targeted messages that they can’t see.

MemberArn -> (string)

The ARN of the target channel member.

Shorthand Syntax:

MemberArn=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "MemberArn": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table
  • yaml
  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64
  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
