sendMessage method

Future<SendMessageResponse> sendMessage(Message message, { bool skipPush = false, bool skipEnrichUrl = false, })

Send a message to this channel.

If skipPush is true the message will not send a push notification.

Waits for a _messageAttachmentsUploadCompleter to complete before actually sending the message.

Implementation

  // Eg. Updating the message while the previous call is in progress.
