private messages

Yeah this is a hot topic @darki, we already discussed it many times trying to figure out how to do it. Unfortunately the api doesn't support reading private messages at the moment, otherwise Dark would have integrated it long ago!

However @Darkmyre, just read the api docs quickly and something popped in, to be able to at least know when someone has a message could have a possible workaround.
When you get a message, you get a notification in the forum too. And there is a get command (https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api?endpoint=core/members/GETitem_notifications) supposed to read the notification, and it's type etc.
You could theoretically read the notifications, check for what triggered it, and if it's a message, then show the notification ingame.
What do you think?

Yep, we should be able to implement something with this. Annoyingly the API returns *all* the notifications, even read ones, but should be able to filter them down to relevant ones.

So unfortunately, DM's don't actually trigger notifications in any way, even with all the notification settings turned on. And there's no way via the API to fetch anything related to DM's, only endpoints to post a new DM to a user.

Yeah that's partial :DDDDDD

This has finally been resolved - an alert will now be displayed in-game when a user has unread message conversations on the forum, with a link to open the messenger in a new tab.

Abso-fucking-lutely awesome!
