I am having trouble figuring out how to do private messaging. The goal is to click the action button on a post that will pull over the post into the chat. Kind of like when you send or respond to a post on Instagram Dm’s. ---

So you want to put context into the new message you’re creating, related to the post? ---

Yes exactly. The post is interactive, so once it is clicked, it is pulled up for the user in greater detail. I have put a floating action button set on that detailed page. I would like to pull the image featured in the detailed page into the chat while creating.
