Delete my message

chat.message.delete

POST/api/v1/households/{household_id}/commands/chat.message.delete

  • Command
  • Rigel runs it
  • Applies offline

The author deletes their message: its text, attachments, sticker, reactions and mentions go, and it keeps its place as "Message deleted" so replies and its thread still make sense. Its notifications are withdrawn. Deleting it again does nothing. Rigel can delete only Rigel's messages. Errors: message_not_found, not_author.
