  createConversation(...) covered this case
• getConversation(conversation_id)
• getConversations()

• deleteConversation(conversation_id) backend plugin didn't support
• addParticipants(conversation_id, participant_ids)

• removeAdmins(conversation_id, admin_ids)
• createMessage(conversation_id, body, metadata, asset)

Some problems:

1. There is no strict policy about conversation creation, looks like iOS and JS SDK does their own check when involving conversation creation. These checks based on following considerations:

   • Do we allow same groups of users to have multiple conversations?
   • is_direct_message attribute seems not useful? but need set by client SDK
   • is title required when creates a conversation?

   My suggestion is we should move conversation creation to python plugin's lambda function. No need to ask each SDK to write their own checks and then call save a conversation record.

2. name field is missing in user table, so it's impossible to know the message sender name.

3. What's the minimal number of members of a conversation?

4. Chat SDK didn't support delete (conversation is referenced by user_conversation)
