Hi, I want to retrieve a list of specific channels using react uikit but I’m not able

This is code. I’m receiving an empty array on `allChannels`. It does work when I’m only queriying one url `[sendbird_group_....]` but it’s empty whit more than one url. Also, the same happens when querying from a rails sever using the platform api.

```auto
<SendbirdProvider appId={SENDBIRD_APP_ID} userId={sendbirdUserId} config={{ logLevel: 'info' }}>
      <ChannelListProvider
        queries={{
          channelListQuery: {
            channelUrlsFilter: [
              'sendbird_group_channel_189952424_80b31f85e12a8d3c04dbfb7eaffd277d3382abcd',
              'sendbird_group_channel_186799216_47171de692055c79c9fea6461030f93a91cbabcd'
            ]
          }
        }}
      >
        <CustomUserList memberSprints={coachedMemberSprints} />
      </ChannelListProvider>
    </SendbirdProvider>

```

The expected would be to receive both channels.

Hi @Jose_Chavez.

- Is the user member of channels?

- Aren’t the channels empty(message not sent yet)?

Thanks for answering @sardorbek.numonov

Channels are not empty and the member belongs to them. I got the channels urls from requesting the channels without any filter. Also, they work when querying separately, this works:

```auto
queries={{
          channelListQuery: {
            channelUrlsFilter: [
              'sendbird_group_channel_189952424_80b31f85e12a8d3c04dbfb7eaffd277d3382abcd'
            ]
          }
        }}

```

Is there another way to retrieve a list of specific channels and display them with the realtime features?
