How to set a message history?

[ClemB-Dev]

I was wondering how I could populate the RealTime Client with a conversation history.

The idea is that users can continue a conversation from where it left off after being disconnected. I am already able to retrieve the history, as I have saved it in a database. Now, I would like to configure the client with the updated history.

Is this possible? If so, how does it work?

In theory you should be able to call response.create.item with each one of the previous messages, but I couldn't make it work, I'm creating an issue about it in a sec.

So what I did was:

let instructionsCopy = instructions;
    if (messageList.length > 0) {
      instructionsCopy = instructionsCopy + `\n\nThe following is a history of our previous conversation:\n${messageList.map(message => `${message.sender}: ${message.message}`).join('\n')}`;
    }

Thank you for answering. That's also what I did on my side.
