How to bulk delete messages on Google Chat Space?

I am using the Beeper Matrix-GChat client and bridge. The Beeper client provides a "Send Custom Event" feature which lets me apparently send my own custom APi requests? (Not sure of this).

I would like to know how to:

  1. Iterate through all messages with Me as the author in a Google Chat Space
  2. Send "redaction"/"removal"/"deletion" for each message

First, why? What are you trying to accomplish by deleting everything (that could have an affect on the answer)?

Second, you will have to use the matrix client-server API to do this. That dialog is only for sending matrix events, not calling every API endpoint.

The issue tracker is not the correct place for discussing this as it is not a bug in the bridge. You'll probably find better help if you discuss in #:maunium.net or possibly #googlechat:maunium.net

Thanks for the matrix room link. I'll try asking there. Apologies for the wasteful issue!
