FRONTEND GUIDE FOR AI CODING AGENTS - PART 8 - MessagingCenter Service
This document is a part of a REST API guide for the auteurlabb project. It is designed for AI agents that will generate frontend code to consume the project’s backend.
This document provides extensive instruction for the usage of messagingCenter
Service Access
MessagingCenter service management is handled through service specific base urls.
MessagingCenter service may be deployed to the preview server, staging server, or production server. Therefore,it has 3 access URLs. The frontend application must support all deployment environments during development, and the user should be able to select the target API server on the login page (already handled in first part.).
For the messagingCenter service, the base URLs are:
- Preview:
https://auteurlabb.prw.mindbricks.com/messagingcenter-api - Staging:
https://auteurlabb-stage.mindbricks.co/messagingcenter-api - Production:
https://auteurlabb.mindbricks.co/messagingcenter-api
Scope
MessagingCenter Service Description
Facilitates secure messaging between filmmakers, studios, and investors, enabling message threads, moderation, and notifications for industry collaborations.
MessagingCenter service provides apis and business logic for following data objects in auteurlabb application. Each data object may be either a central domain of the application data structure or a related helper data object for a central concept. Note that data object concept is equal to table concept in the database, in the service database each data object is represented as a db table scheme and the object instances as table rows.
messageThread Data Object: A thread (private or group) representing a conversation among platform users, optionally linked to a film project
message Data Object: A message sent in a thread between platform users, with moderation and delivery tracking.
MessagingCenter Service Frontend Description By The Backend Architect
- Enables direct and group messaging for filmmakers, studios, investors. Threads are enriched with last message data (for conversations list), and moderation status is reflected for flagged/removed content.
- Users see only their own threads and messages unless admin. Admins see all for moderation and compliance.
- Each message is linked to a thread; project context is attached for film/discussion linkage.
- Last message, read receipts, and moderation status are available in the messaging UI for full state handling. Subject field required for group/archived threads; otherwise, for two-person threads subject is optional.
- Non-admin users can only modify their own messages (within an edit window); only admins can change flagged/moderation states.
- Notification events for new messages/threads drive in-app notifications and badges.
- Flag/report message flows may link to a moderation UI for admin action. Standard message flows follow real-time or poll-based updates as orchestrated by frontend.
API Structure
Object Structure of a Successful Response
When the service processes requests successfully, it wraps the requested resource(s) within a JSON envelope. This envelope includes the data and essential metadata such as configuration details and pagination information, providing context to the client.
HTTP Status Codes:
- 200 OK: Returned for successful GET, LIST, UPDATE, or DELETE operations, indicating that the request was processed successfully.
- 201 Created: Returned for CREATE operations, indicating that the resource was created successfully.
Success Response Format:
For successful operations, the response includes a "status": "OK" property, signaling that the request executed successfully. The structure of a successful response is outlined below:
{
"status":"OK",
"statusCode": 200,
"elapsedMs":126,
"ssoTime":120,
"source": "db",
"cacheKey": "hexCode",
"userId": "ID",
"sessionId": "ID",
"requestId": "ID",
"dataName":"products",
"method":"GET",
"action":"list",
"appVersion":"Version",
"rowCount":3,
"products":[{},{},{}],
"paging": {
"pageNumber":1,
"pageRowCount":25,
"totalRowCount":3,
"pageCount":1
},
"filters": [],
"uiPermissions": []
}
products: In this example, this key contains the actual response content, which may be a single object or an array of objects depending on the operation.
Additional Data
Each API may include additional data besides the main data object, depending on the business logic of the API. These will be provided in each API’s response signature.
Error Response
If a request encounters an issue—whether due to a logical fault or a technical problem—the service responds with a standardized JSON error structure. The HTTP status code indicates the nature of the error, using commonly recognized codes for clarity:
- 400 Bad Request: The request was improperly formatted or contained invalid parameters.
- 401 Unauthorized: The request lacked a valid authentication token; login is required.
- 403 Forbidden: The current token does not grant access to the requested resource.
- 404 Not Found: The requested resource was not found on the server.
- 500 Internal Server Error: The server encountered an unexpected condition.
Each error response is structured to provide meaningful insight into the problem, assisting in efficient diagnosis and resolution.
{
"result": "ERR",
"status": 400,
"message": "errMsg_organizationIdisNotAValidID",
"errCode": 400,
"date": "2024-03-19T12:13:54.124Z",
"detail": "String"
}
MessageThread Data Object
A thread (private or group) representing a conversation among platform users, optionally linked to a film project
MessageThread Data Object Frontend Description By The Backend Architect
Represents the context for a conversation (one-on-one or group) among users. Subject is displayed for group/archived/flagged threads; threads can be listed by participant for chat list UI; relatedProjectId links the thread to a film project for context. Threads can be archived, flagged, or active.
MessageThread Data Object Properties
MessageThread data object has got following properties that are represented as table fields in the database scheme. These properties don’t stand just for data storage, but each may have different settings to manage the business logic.
| Property | Type | IsArray | Required | Secret | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
participantIds |
ID | true | Yes | No | IDs of all participants in the thread (must be 2+ for group, exactly 2 for 1-1) |
subject |
String | false | No | No | Optional subject for the thread, required for group or flagged; for 1-on-1 may be null/empty. |
relatedProjectId |
ID | false | No | No | (Optional) The project this thread is about. |
isGroup |
Boolean | false | Yes | No | True if thread is a group chat, false if private 1-to-1 message. |
createdBy |
ID | false | Yes | No | User who created the thread. |
lastMessageAt |
Date | false | Yes | No | Timestamp of the last message in this thread (used for sorting). |
threadStatus |
Enum | false | Yes | No | Status of the thread: active, archived, flagged. |
- Required properties are mandatory for creating objects and must be provided in the request body if no default value, formula or session bind is set.
Array Properties
participantIds
Array properties can hold multiple values. Array properties should be respected according to their multiple structure in the frontend in any user input for them. Please use multiple input components for the array proeprties when needed.
Enum Properties
Enum properties are defined with a set of allowed values, ensuring that only valid options can be assigned to them. The enum options value will be stored as strings in the database, but when a data object is created an additional property with the same name plus an idx suffix will be created, which will hold the index of the selected enum option. You can use the {fieldName_idx} property to sort by the enum value or when your enum options represent a hiyerarchy of values. In the frontend input components, enum type properties should only accept values from an option component that lists the enum options.
- threadStatus: [active, archived, flagged]
Relation Properties
participantIds relatedProjectId createdBy
Mindbricks supports relations between data objects, allowing you to define how objects are linked together. The relations may reference to a data object either in this service or in another service. Id the reference is remote, backend handles the relations through service communication or elastic search. These relations should be respected in the frontend so that instaead of showing the related objects id, the frontend should list human readable values from other data objects. If the relation points to another service, frontend should use the referenced service api in case it needs related data. The relation logic is montly handled in backend so the api responses feeds the frontend about the relational data. In mmost cases the api response will provide the relational data as well as the main one.
In frontend, please ensure that,
1- instaead of these relational ids you show the main human readable field of the related target data (like name), 2- if this data object needs a user input of these relational ids, you should provide a combobox with the list of possible records or (a searchbox) to select with the realted target data object main human readable field.
- participantIds: ID

Default CRUD APIs
For each data object, the backend architect may designate default APIs for standard operations (create, update, delete, get, list). These are the APIs that frontend CRUD forms and AI agents should use for basic record management. If no default is explicitly set (isDefaultApi), the frontend generator auto-discovers the most general API for each operation.
MessageThread Default APIs
