Yes, that commit/your Discourse version is over a month old [DEV: Enable color CI output and tweak formatting (#21527) · discourse/discourse@eec10ef · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/eec10efc3dfad0d274cadb60e9e45f2a345b2a5d)

There have since been changes to the Chat API: [FIX: uses chat api new sendChatMessage (#38) · discourse/discourse-gifs@eb3ec48 · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-gifs/commit/eb3ec48c3446cf23973613516ffe12d6fe6ee519)

So I wouldn’t expect this to work either.
