# Insert a Chat Message

NOTE: To insert a chat message, the connector must run with delegated permissions, and not as a service application. For more information, see Process Data from a Single User.

To insert a chat message, your XML must include the following properties and metadata fields:

Type | Required | Name | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
Property | Yes | `Type` | The type of item to insert. To insert a chat message, specify `ChatMessage`.
Property | Set one of: `TEAMID` and `CHANNELID` `CHATID` `RECIPIENT` | `TEAMID` | The ID of the team that contains the channel.
Property | `CHANNELID` | The ID of the channel to insert the message into.
Property | `CHATID` | The ID of the chat to insert the message into.
Property | `RECIPIENT` | The recipient to send the message to. (The sender is the user who the connector is logged in as).
Metadata field | Yes | `Content` | The message text.

For example, the value of your `insertXML` action parameter might look like this:

    <insertXML>
      <insert>
        <property name="Type" value="ChatMessage"/>
        <property name="RECIPIENT" value="alice@example.com"/>
        <xmlmetadata>
          <Content>Hi Alice. How are you?</Content>
        </xmlmetadata>
      </insert>
    </insertXML>
