Create a Conversation

In this code snippet you learn how to create a Conversation.

Example

Ensure the following variables are set to your required values using any convenient method:

Key Description
CONV_NAME The unique name of the Conversation.
CONV_DISPLAY_NAME The display name of the Conversation.
  • cURL
  • Node.js

    • Prerequisites

    Create an application

    A Nexmo application contains the required configuration for your project. You can create an application using the Nexmo CLI (see below) or via the dashboard. To learn more about applications see our Nexmo concepts guide.

    Install the CLI

    npm install -g nexmo-cli

    Create an application

    Once you have the CLI installed you can use it to create a Nexmo application. Run the following command and make a note of the application ID that it returns. This is the value to use in NEXMO_APPLICATION_ID in the example below. It will also create private.key in the current directory which you will need in the Initialize your dependencies step

    Nexmo needs to connect to your local machine to access your answer_url. We recommend using ngrok to do this. Make sure to change demo.ngrok.io in the examples below to your own ngrok URL.

    nexmo app:create "Create Conversation" http://demo.ngrok.io/webhooks/answer http://demo.ngrok.io/webhooks/events --keyfile private.key

    Write the code

    Add the following to create-conversation.sh:

    Copy to Clipboard 
    curl -X "POST" "https://api.nexmo.com/beta/conversations" \
     -H 'Authorization: Bearer '$JWT\
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d $'{
  "name": "$CONV_NAME",
  "display_name": "$CONV_DISPLAY_NAME"
}'
