# Background

## Set chat background

`client.Chats.Background.Set(ctx, chatID, body) error`

**post** `/v3/chats/{chatId}/background`

Set the transcript background for a chat.

Provide one of: a **color** (a named preset or a custom 2-stop gradient),
a **dynamic** animated style, or a **photo** (by URL). The request is accepted
asynchronously; the terminal result arrives via the `chat.background_updated`
webhook on success, or `chat.background_update_failed` on failure.

**Group chats are supported.** Requests for RCS or SMS chats are accepted (`202`)
but no background is applied and no `chat.background_updated` webhook fires.

### Parameters

- `chatID string`

- `body ChatBackgroundSetParams`

  - `Type param.Field[ChatBackgroundSetParamsType]`

    The background family.

    - `const ChatBackgroundSetParamsTypeColor ChatBackgroundSetParamsType = "color"`

    - `const ChatBackgroundSetParamsTypeDynamic ChatBackgroundSetParamsType = "dynamic"`

    - `const ChatBackgroundSetParamsTypePhoto ChatBackgroundSetParamsType = "photo"`

  - `ImageURL param.Field[string]`

    Photo: the image URL to embed in the background. Must be an absolute `https`
    URL pointing at an image (`.jpg`, `.png`, `.heic`, `.webp`), and the image is
    fetched and re-hosted on our CDN before the request is accepted — the same way
    `group_chat_icon` works. A URL we cannot fetch, or one that isn't an image, is
    rejected with a `400` (`5007`/`5006`) rather than failing later on the device.

    Example: `https://cdn.linqapp.com/u/bg.jpg`.

  - `Shades param.Field[[]string]`

    Color with `variant: custom`: the two gradient stops as hex, top then bottom —
    e.g. `["#F2C4E1", "#F5A623"]`. Ignored for named color variants (they carry
    their own two colors).

  - `Style param.Field[ChatBackgroundSetParamsStyle]`

    Dynamic: the animated style — `sky`, `water`, or `aurora`.

    - `const ChatBackgroundSetParamsStyleSky ChatBackgroundSetParamsStyle = "sky"`

    - `const ChatBackgroundSetParamsStyleWater ChatBackgroundSetParamsStyle = "water"`

    - `const ChatBackgroundSetParamsStyleAurora ChatBackgroundSetParamsStyle = "aurora"`

  - `Variant param.Field[string]`

    Color: a named swatch — `mango`, `ice`, `plum`, `deep_sea`, `green_apple`,
    `cherry`, `bubblegum`, `tangerine`, `magenta`, `lime`, `silver`, `carbon`,
    `stone` — or `custom` (supply `shades`). Omitting `variant` is equivalent to
    `custom`, so it still requires `shades`.

    Dynamic: required — the variant within the `style`. `sky`: `dusk`, `haze`,
    `sunset`, `clear`, `sunrise`, `dawn`. `water`: `light`, `dark`. `aurora`:
    `green`, `purple`, `pink`.

    An unrecognized value is rejected with `400`.

    linqgo.ChatBackgroundSetParams{
      Type: linqgo.ChatBackgroundSetParamsTypeColor,
      Variant: linqgo.String("mango"),
    },
  )
  if err != nil {
    panic(err.Error())
  }
}

#### Response

```json

  },
  "success": false
}

## Remove chat background
