We want to send reminders(email/sms) to users whenever a group is inactive for some duration let say 30 mins. Is there any api available to achieve this?

Hi @Pharmaplan2,  
We do not have any API available for such cases. However, you can make use of Sendbird’s webhook event: [group\_channel:message\_send](https://sendbird.com/docs/chat/platform-api/v3/webhook/events/group-channel#2-group_channel-message_send) to identify when a message was last sent to a group channel. From there, you can create your own custom notification service, such as an SMS or email notification system, to alert you when the timestamp of the last sent message exceeds 30 minutes.
