Yes.

I see in the docs that you can create a private message and pass multiple users in ([Discourse API Docs](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Posts/paths/~1posts.json/post)), and I just wanted to make sure that I understand how that works.

Basically, everyone `target_usernames` will be included on the message. They’ll be able to have a conversation that only they can see and interact with. Depending on the site settings, others may be able to be added to a PM, or it could be converted into a public post in a category. To let you know more about PMs. 🙂
