Platform API

Group

Grouping agents and tickets help you manage Desk Platform more efficiently. With the Group API, you can retrieve a list of groups or view a specific group along with the agents belonging to it. Creating a new group is only available in Settings > Teams on the Sendbird Dashboard. Note that the term Group is referred to as Team on the dashboard.

Note: To see which group a specific ticket belongs to, use the Ticket API instead.

The following table shows the list of properties in a group resource.

Property name	Type	Description
