A JSON-encoded list of containing new draft objects.
drafts object details:
-
id: integer optional The unique ID of the draft. It will only used whenever the drafts are
fetched. This field should not be specified when the draft is being
created or edited.
-
type: string required The type of the draft. Either unaddressed (empty string), "stream",
or "private" (for PMs and private group messages).
Must be one of: "", "stream", "private".
-
to: (integer)[] required An array of the tentative target audience IDs. For "stream"
messages, this should contain exactly 1 ID, the ID of the
target stream. For private messages, this should be an array
of target user IDs. For unaddressed drafts, this is ignored,

be the empty string. Should not contain null bytes.
-
content: string required The body of the draft. Should not contain null bytes.

Response
Return values
Example response
When all of the drafts in the request are valid, this endpoint will return
an array of the IDs for the drafts that were just created in the same
order as they were requested. If any of the drafts failed the validation
step, then none of the drafts will be created and we would not get this
status code. The typical JSON response in such a case is:
{
"ids": [
1,
2,
3
],
"msg": "",
"result": "success"
}
JSON response for when a draft targeted towards a stream does not specify
exactly one stream ID:
{
"code": "BAD_REQUEST",
"msg": "Must specify exactly 1 stream ID for stream messages",
"result": "error"
}
