string

This relieves bots and webhooks from having to store the Hangouts Chat thread ID of a thread (created earlier by them) to post further updates to it.

Has no effect if thread field, corresponding to an existing thread, is set in message.

Response body

If successful, the response body contains a newly created instance of Message.
