Summary
Stream's Silent Messages feature allows for sending system, administrative, or transactional messages without triggering user alerts or increasing the unread message count in conversations. This functionality is particularly useful for non-urgent notifications, such as "your ride is waiting" or "You and Jane are now matched!" Implementing Silent Messages is straightforward, requiring only the addition of a silent field in the message object set to true, after which the API manages the process.
