## API response

The API response will contain the assigned group\_id, which is useful for correlating messages sent to a group and messages received from a group.

The `group_id` that you receive in the response from `/api/send-group-message` is the only way you will be able to correlate messages sent in a group to messages received from a group in your app.

## Sending group messages

You can send messages using the [/send-group-message](/api/resources/groups/methods/send_message/index.md) endpoint.

## Receiving group messages

Receiving group messages is very straightforward. There will be a field called group\_id which gets sent to your [receive webhook](/getting-started/receiving-messages/index.md).

## Adding people to group chats

You can add someone to your group chat with the [/api/modify-group](/api/resources/groups/methods/modify_group/index.md) endpoint.

## Removing people from group chats (in-progress)

Removing people from group chats is not yet supported.
