Direct Message

When Direct Message is selected as the publish type in the General tab, the input for the activity is as follows.

Note: When the specified user ID and the screen name do not match, the user ID is used. That is, when the screen name conflicts with the user ID, the plug-in publishes a direct message to the user that the user ID points to.
Input Item Data Type Description
screenName string The screen name, handle, or alias that users identify themselves with. Screen names are unique but subject to change. Use id_str as a user identifier whenever possible. Typically a maximum of 15 characters long, but some historical accounts may exist with longer names.
text string The text of your direct message. Ensure that URL is encoded as necessary, and keep the message under 140 characters.

For example: Meet me at the cafe at noon.

userId long The ID of the user who receives a direct message. Helpful for disambiguating when a valid user ID is also a valid screen name.
