Create a merged message

Use createMergerMessage to combine multiple messages into one summary message.

Code example

List<Message> messages = Arrays.asList(msg1, msg2, msg3);
String title = "Chat history from Project Team";
List<String> summaries = Arrays.asList("Alex: We deployed the latest release", "Bob: Understood, running verification tests");

Message message = OpenIMClient.getInstance().messageManager.createMergerMessage(
    messages,
    title,
    summaries
);
