Creating elastic channels

You use the ElasticChannelConfiguration field in the CreateChannel API to create an elastic channel. Once you create an elastic channel, you create channel memberships.

Note

• For non-elastic channels, the AppInstanceUser that creates the channel is automatically added to that channel as a member and moderator. For elastic channels, the channel creator is only added as a moderator.

• You can't update an ElasticChannelConfiguration once set.

• You can't update a channel from elastic to non-elastic and vice-versa.

• You can't include a list of member ARNs in a CreateChannel API request. However, you can include a list of moderator ARNs.

• You can't create an UNRESTRICTED type elastic channel.
