Hello, I’m building a plugin and I need to send something to a user’s email. I use creator = PostCreator.new(test_user, { target_recipients: "someone@toto.com", archetype: Archetype.private_message, subtype: TopicSubtype.system_message, title: "Hello test subject", raw: "This is the message. Does it work ?" }) test_user is admin But every time I try to send using this, I get the error : Topic is empty Any idea ?

TL;DR use target_emails not target_recipients Note that target_recipients is a parameter to PostsController, not an argument for PostCreator. That controller figures out if the recipients are users, groups or email addresses and then eventually passes it as target_emails to NewPostsManager and it ends up in TopicCreator.

According to the specs, that should take a group name or a username: spec/requests/posts_controller_spec.rb 7019dbcfe it "can send a message to a group" do Group.refresh_automatic_groups! group = Group.create(name: "test_group", messageable_level: Group::ALIAS_LEVELS[:nobody]) user1 = user group.add(user1) post "/posts.json", params: { raw: "I can haz a test", title: "I loves my test", target_recipients: group.name, archetype: Archetype.private_message, } expect(response).not_to be_successful # allow pm to this group group.update_columns(messageable_level: Group::ALIAS_LEVELS[:everyone]) post "/posts.json", params: { spec/requests/posts_controller_spec.rb 7019dbcfe fab!(:topic) { Fabricate(:topic) } it "errors when creating a private post" do user_2 = Fabricate(:user) post "/posts.json", params: { raw: "this is the test content", archetype: "private_message", title: "this is some post", target_recipients: user_2.username, topic_id: topic.id, } expect(response.status).to eq(422) expect(response.parsed_body["errors"]).to include(I18n.t("create_pm_on_existing_topic")) end end context "with errors" do it "does not succeed" do

Hello Robert, That’s weird because on the front end, Discourse uses a payload like this and it is working (tested with my private email) : raw: Again a message content here. title: Hello there general kenoby archetype: private_message target_recipients: j.doe@something.com I found it weird that we are expecting a group name on the backend :confused:

Thank you ! That was it :slight_smile:
