FAQ

Questions PubNub owners ask.

  • 01

    How can I check if a specific user is currently online in a channel?

    You can use the presence_here_now capability to see a list of all active UUIDs in a specific channel, or presence_where_now to find all channels a specific UUID is currently subscribed to.

  • 02

    Can the AI retrieve past messages from a channel?

    Yes, the get_message_history capability allows the agent to fetch historical messages from one or more channels, including metadata and specific time ranges.

  • 03

    Is it possible to manage user profiles and metadata through this server?

    Absolutely. You can use set_user to create or update profiles and get_user to retrieve them. You can also manage channel metadata using set_channel and get_channel.
