Quoted messages

Quoted Messages feature lets users reference previous messages within a conversation. By quoting a message, users can provide additional context or relevant details, ensuring coherence even when referencing older messages.

Quote message

There is no dedicated method for quoting messages. You must use SendText() - the same method you use for sending text messages - and attach the required quoted message information.

Method signature
