Does the API have the ability to add a Service?

In Group Chat there is a dropdown listing all the Services.

conference being the default.

Hi;

If I recall correctly, you can create a room using a new service, and it will create the service automatically. I may be wrong though, but if it can save you time, it’s worth a try.

Indeed it does, just tested, thanks for this.

http://localhost:9090/plugins/restapi/v1/chatrooms?servicename=newservice

Content-Type: application/json

{

“roomName”: “global”,

“naturalName”: “global-2”,

“description”: “Global chat room”

}

I’d noticed other APIs tried to create a user/group if it didn’t exist too.
