Manage the read state of multiple chats in a single request.
Two bulk actions are supported, controlled by the operation field in the request body:

read_status_update- Manage the read status of multiple chats in a single request. This is particularly useful for keeping your chat list organized and up-to-date, especially when you have a large number of conversations.
clear_unread - Clears the unread message count or status to zero for the specified chats. If a specified chat has no unread entries, it is silently skipped.

Threshold limits: 60 requests per min
Number of API calls allowed within a minute.

Lock periods: 5 minutes
Wait time before consecutive API requests.

! Possible Error Codes Click to expand

Error Code	Description
invalid.inputs.submitted	An invalid value was passed (e.g. unrecognised `chat_type` or `sort_by`).
invalid.time.submitted	`modified_before` or `modified_after` is not a valid timestamp, or `modified_after` is not earlier than `modified_before`.
invalid_access	The user is not a member of the organisation.
chat_operation_failed	An unexpected server-side error occurred.

Error Response Format

When an error occurs, the API returns a JSON response in this format:

{"message": "A human-readable description of the error.", "code": "error_code"}

where code is the error identifier (as listed above) and message is a human-readable explanation of what went wrong.

OAuth Scope : ZohoCliq.Chats.READ

Query Parameters

title

string

Search for chats that include this keyword in their names. The search should be case-insensitive and allow for partial matches.
Maximum length: 200 characters

limit

integer

The maximum number of chats to return.
Maximum limit: 500. Default is 500 if not specified.

modified_before

string

Search and return only chats last modified before this time.
Accepts either epoch time in milliseconds (for example, 1711929600000) or ISO 8601 format (for example, 2024-04-01T00:00:00Z).
Use the same time format consistently across both modified_before and modified_after in a request for predictable filtering. Note: When both modified_before and modified_after are provided, modified_after must be earlier than modified_before.

modified_after

string

Search and return only chats last modified after this time.
Accepts either epoch time in milliseconds (for example, 1711929600000) or ISO 8601 format (for example, 2024-04-01T00:00:00Z).
Use the same time format consistently across both modified_before and modified_after in a request for predictable filtering. Note: When both modified_before and modified_after are provided, modified_after must be earlier than modified_before.

recipient

string

Filter by recipient user ID. Returns chats where this user is a participant. For direct messages, this will be the other participant; for group chats, this can be any member.

chat_type

string

Filter by chat type. Allowed values:
direct_message, group_chat, channel, thread. You can specify multiple types separated by commas (e.g. direct_message,group_chat) to include multiple chat types in the results.

parent_chat_id

string

Restrict results to threads belonging to this parent chat. Only applicable when filtering for thread-type chats.

sort_by

string

Sort results by usage or recent activity.
Allowed values:

usage: Sort by usage frequency, with the most frequently accessed chats appearing first.
recent: Sort by recent activity, with the most recently active chats appearing first. This is the default sorting method.

Error Code	Description
chat_access_denied	Caller is not a participant of this chat.
chat_operation_failed	Unexpected server error.

Error Response Format

When an error occurs, the API returns a JSON response in this format:

{"message": "A human-readable description of the error.", "code": "error_code"}

where code is the error identifier (as listed above) and message is a human-readable explanation of what went wrong.

OAuth Scope : ZohoCliq.Chats.UPDATE

Arguments

operation

string

(Required)

The operation to perform. Must be set to close_chat to remove the chat from recent chats.

Path Parameters

CHAT_ID3

string

(Required)

The unique identifier of the chat. Accepts the same chat ID format as CHAT_ID. To learn how to retrieve this ID, see CHAT_ID in the Glossary page.

Note: CHAT_ID3 is a documentation alias for CHAT_ID, used to separate the "Close a chat" operation for better readability while sharing the same /chats/{CHAT_ID} endpoint.

Use this API to mute notifications for any given chat while still keeping it accessible. Muting is ideal for high-volume group chats or channels where the user wants to stay in the conversation but avoid constant notification interruptions.

This setting affects chat-level notifications and helps keep conversations organized without leaving them entirely.

Threshold limit: 20 requests per min per user
Number of API calls allowed within a minute.

Lock period: 10 minutes
Wait time before consecutive API requests.

OAuth Scope : ZohoCliq.Chats.UPDATE

Path Parameters

CHAT_ID

string

(Required)

The unique identifier of the chat that needs to be muted. To learn how to retrieve this ID, see CHAT_ID in the Glossary page.
