Hello, I need help creating a private chat for the advertising website I’m building. The chat should be sent from the ad. ---

What do you mean by “the chat should be sent from the ad”? Does clicking an ad start a chat? ---

I can share a bit of how I do this in my application. I have users who can create proposals to each other. Once the proposal is created, I have a messages tab where they can have a DM conversation specific to the proposal. You’ll want to watch [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0vW0GFc2io) as a precursor. What I do for this case is host different columns for the IDs of the various entities messages might be associated with, directly in the messages table. When a message is sent from the entity it is associated with (proposal), I store a screen value for the proposal ID in the message table. In the UI, I leverage row owners instead of filters for the sender/receiver, and then filter the conversation view to only include that proposal ID matching the screen proposal ID, thus showing a private conversation on the same screen as my proposal. I have other entities than proposals where conversations can be associated, for this I store them in additional columns and do the same thing for those other associated entities. For DMs between users, I use the “unique identifier” special value, and then make sure in all messages interface to include that value in the messages save fields on the right-side component configuration. This ensures the conversation value is always passed between subsequent replies.
