You can find guide here: WP Beginner

Starting new conversation

<?php
// Sender user ID
$sender_id  = get_current_user_id();
// Recipients User IDs
$recipients = [2, 3, 4];
// Conversation message content
$content    = 'new conversation message content';
// Conversation subject
$subject = 'Subject';

$thread_id = Better_Messages()->functions->new_message([
    'sender_id'    => $sender_id,
    'content'      => $content,
    'subject'      => $subject,
    'recipients'   => $recipients,
    'return'       => 'thread_id',
    'error_type'   => 'wp_error'
]);

if ( is_wp_error( $thread_id ) ) {
    $error = $thread_id->get_error_message();
    // Process error
} else {
    // Thread created
    //var_dump( $thread_id );
}

Replying to existing conversation

<?php
// Sender user ID
$sender_id  = get_current_user_id();
// Thread ID
$thread_id  = 6620;
// Conversation message content
$content    = 'new message content';

$message_id = Better_Messages()->functions->new_message([
    'sender_id'    => $sender_id,
    'thread_id'    => $thread_id,
    'content'      => $content,
    'return'       => 'message_id',
    'error_type'   => 'wp_error'
]);

if ( is_wp_error( $message_id ) ) {
    $error = $message_id->get_error_message();
    // Process error
} else {
    // Message created
    // var_dump( $message_id );
}
