Create a Room
Creates a room. The authenticated user is automatically added as a member of the room. See the Memberships API to learn how to add more people to the room.
To create a 1:1 room, use the Create Messages endpoint to send a message directly to another person by using the toPersonId or toPersonEmail parameters.
Bots are not able to create and simultaneously classify a room. A bot may update a space classification after a person of the same owning organization joined the space as the first human user. A space can only be put into announcement mode when it is locked.
