Initiate User

To start using the LikeMinds Chat and enable personalized experiences for your users, you need to initiate them within the system. This process associates a user in your application with a user in the LikeMinds Chat, allowing for seamless integration and realtime messaging in your application.

Steps to initiate a User

1. To initialise a user, use the method initiateUser() provided by the LMChatClient you created.
2. Pass the required uuid and userName to the function. An optional parameter isGuest to be provided if the logging profile is of the guest user.
3. Use the response as per your requirement

const payload: any = {
  isGuest: false, // true for guest user
  uuid: "ENTER_USER_UUID",
  userName: "ENTER_USER_NAME",
};
const response = await lmChatClient?.initiateUser(payload);

if (response.success) {
  // your function to process the response data
  processResponse(response);
} else {
  // your function to process error message
  processError(response);
}
