"createGroup" method creates duplicate group on invoke (Javascript)

I implement createGroup method as documented on https://mesibo.com/documentation/api/real-time-api/groups/ .

My code snippet:

 MesiboApi.createGroup(groupName.msg, 0, function (createdGroup) {
    const groupPermissions = {
      flags: 0xFFFF,
      adminFlags: 0,
      callFlags: 2 | 4 | 0x8000 | 0x10000 | 0x20000,
      videoResolution: 2
    };

    createdGroup.addMembers(selectedUsers, groupPermissions)
    if (groupPicture.url) {
      createdGroup.setImageUrl(groupPicture.url)
    }
  });
}

For example, I created a group called "ExampleGroup". On the console, GroupListener listener only prints once with group ID 124027:

But when I checked on Mesibo console, there are two groups with the same name with neighboring ID (124028 and 124027) but very distant Expiry Date. 124028 expires on Oct 17, 2021 07:18 PM while 124027 expires on Sep 28, 2024 01:18 PM as shown below.

On the other hand, when I called getSortedProfiles, only one "ExampleGroup" with group ID 124027 appeared. I could not find group ID 124028.

What do I need to do? And please let me know if you need more information. Thank you.

You can give any name to the group, even the same name. The group ID will be different.

It is like two different users of your app have created groups name "Family".

Regarding group 124028, it was created by you using backend API from IP address "120.29.23x.xx2" and hence you have two groups.

The problem is it is "accidentally" created twice when createGroup method is invoked and one of them is not found using getSortedProfiles method.

[mesibo]

It is because it does not have members. getSortedProfiles will only return if the user is a member of that group. Also, we are discouraging that method now. Please use createGroup

Is it possible to see whether 124028 and 124027 were created by the same user? And how do they have very distant Expiry Date while created almost at the same time?

[mesibo]

124028 was created by backend API - you have passed expiry here - please check your code before posting queries. Below is the parameter you have passed.

op - groupadd , flag - 0 , name - Example Group , expiry - 31536000 , expiryext - 31536000 , active - 1 , token - ,

124027 was created by some user, you must know which user.

I am closing this.
