Resolve a chat

POST/v1/chats/{chat}/resolve

Resolves the chat and starts the satisfaction survey Apple asks for at resolution.

Errors

  • HTTP 404 code 2001 when the chat does not exist for your brand: the same answer /clarify gives: both resolve the chat before they touch a flow.

Behavior

  • No request body.
  • Returns HTTP 202: the resolution is applied a moment after the response.
  • Idempotent for 10 minutes: a second resolve inside that window returns HTTP 202 with action: "already_resolved" and does nothing, so a customer who answers the survey late is never surveyed twice. Past the window, a chat that genuinely finishes again can be resolved again.
  • The survey runs as a platform flow: the chat’s owner becomes flow while the satisfaction card awaits an answer, and your sends during that window return HTTP 409 code 2011. The flow ends on the customer’s reply (the next message is consumed as the survey answer; one asking for a person escalates instead) or after 120 seconds of silence, and the turn then returns, recorded by chat.owner_changed. So resolve when the conversation is finished: a customer who writes back inside that window is answering the survey, not restarting the thread with you.
