Create a forward message
Create a single forwarded message with the OpenIM Flutter SDK.
Forward an existing valid message to another direct or group conversation by constructing a forward message object:
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
message | Message | Yes | The complete original message object to forward. |
Code example
final message = await OpenIM.iMManager.messageManager
.createForwardMessage(message: sourceMessage);The original message to forward must be a successfully delivered, authentic message record. The SDK assigns a new clientMsgID to the forwarded message; the source message remains unmodified.
Return value
Returns a Future resolving to a newly constructed Message object ready for transmission.
State changes after the call
Creating a message only constructs the local message data structure in memory; it does not perform network transmission, does not modify original message states, and does not trigger new-message event callbacks. Once constructed, pass the returned Message instance to Send a message to deliver it to the target conversation.
