Authentication
You must issue App Secret before issuing jwt token to use channel APIs. Follow below sequences from App config - Authentication & Authorization in Channel Development Portal. 1. Issuing App Secret --- Click Issue button located on the top of the App Settings page. Be careful not to expose issued secret. Previously issued secret will be invalidated if you refresh it. 2.

Function
1. What is Function --- A Function is an API(specified by ChannelTalk) used to request features of an App. All requests to an app follow the Function schema 2.

Command
What is Command Command is a function that can be used by user or manager and is also a wrapper of function. When command is called through the App Store, the App Store calls function internally registered in the command. You could register multiple commands in one app, each of which matches the function 1:1. How to Register a Command --- The command consists of the following fields. { "name" : "commandName", "scope" : "desk", "description": "this is test command", "nameDescI18nMap": { "en": { "
WAM
What is WAM If your function or command requires user interaction or needs to show specific information to the user, you can create and use a Web Application Module (WAM). WAM should be implemented as a single-page application (SPA). The library, framework, bundler, etc. for implementing WAM is the developer's choice, and any choice is fine. You can register WAMs by making them serve on a sub-endpoint of your app server domain and entering the endpoint URL in the 'WAM Endpoint' field in the app
