Create or update a message
Introduced 2.12
Use this API to create or update a message within a conversational memory for conversational search. A memory stores conversation history for the current conversation. A message represents one question/answer pair within a conversation.
Once a message is created, you’ll provide its message_id
to other APIs.
The POST method creates a new message. The PUT method updates an existing message.
You can only update the additional_info
field of a message.
When the Security plugin is enabled, all memories exist in a private
security mode. Only the user who created a memory can interact with that memory and its messages.
