javascript - How do I add someone to a Twilio Conversation Channel?

Question

I'm using the Twilio Javascript Conversations SDK, and I'm migrating from the old Programmable Chat API.

My question is, how do I add another user to the chat? The programmable chat feature had the invite method, but that's not a method in the conversations API. I also tried using the "add" method, but that's not working either.

Thanks in advance!

Instead of invites, Conversations require us to add users as "participants". You can use the add method from the Conversation object. You'll need to pass the identity of the user.
