Sending a chat message using GetStream

Hello, how can I use Stream to send a chat message to a subscriber? I see that stream has been added as a provider ( https://github.com/novuhq/novu/issues/4679 ). I've already set it up in my integrations store, but I can't find any guide/example on how to use it. The integration points to https://getstream.io/chat/docs/node/?language=javascript but it's not really helpful. Thanks!

Just from looking at the PR you would add your api. Then since it is a chat provider you will need to create a subscriber with the data for the specific stream, and have the workflow use the getstream provider to send to that subscriber Here is an example script for discord tha works the same way

import { Novu, ChatProviderIdEnum } from '@novu/node';

const novu = new Novu("<apikey>");

const subscriberId = 'Discord-Alert'

novu.subscribers.identify(subscriberId,{})
    .then(() => {
        console.log('Identified successfully');
    }).catch((error) => {
        console.error('Error creating', error);
    })

novu.subscribers.setCredentials(subscriberId, ChatProviderIdEnum.Discord, {
    webhookUrl: '<webhook>',
}).then(() => {
    console.log('Credentials set successfully');
}).catch((error) => {
    console.error('Error setting credentials', error);
})

import { Novu, ChatProviderIdEnum } from '@novu/node';

const novu = new Novu("<apikey>");

const subscriberId = 'Discord-Alert'

novu.subscribers.identify(subscriberId,{})
    .then(() => {
        console.log('Identified successfully');
    }).catch((error) => {
        console.error('Error creating', error);
    })

novu.subscribers.setCredentials(subscriberId, ChatProviderIdEnum.Discord, {
    webhookUrl: '<webhook>',
}).then(() => {
    console.log('Credentials set successfully');
}).catch((error) => {
    console.error('Error setting credentials', error);
})

Hello @Zac Clifton , thank you for your reply. So if I understand correctly, the data that I would need to add to a subscriber is a webhook URL, which will be used when sending a message (https://github.com/novuhq/novu/pull/4692/files#diff-35f9b2ecd35141410fa0c9dd8ef020de8458e1f9ed6a3bead1abc6003d426e25R22-R35 ). It looks to me that the format is not the one documented in the stream API documentation https://getstream.io/chat/docs/rest/#messages-sendmessage. I'm not really an expert with the stream API, but I'm not able to understand exactly what this webhookURL is. A way to us it would require to create a new endpoint on my backend which will accept these requests and sends the message to the channel and the originator that I want to use. What do you think?
