SysPostChatMessage

tip

This method is available in Cloud Code scripts only.

Sends a potentially richer member chat message. By convention, content should contain a field named text for plain-text content. From is a json containing the message originator info - in this case normally "name" and potentially a "pic" url. Returns the id of the message created.
