One can send sets of messages as well to the Generic and Facebook rest APIs:

msg=set.new_message(intent="impress", content="goes to 11")
# one can still edit the message normally and these changes will be reflected# in the containing setmsg.user_id="shark-sandwich"# Sending the set will send all contained messages to the batch endpointresp=set.send()

Facebook:

fromchatbaseimportFacebookAgentMessageSet, FacebookUserMessageSet# Agent Message SetagnSet=FacebookAgentMessageSet(api_key="x", version="y")
msg=agnSet.new_message(intent="a", message="b")
# Don't forget to set the message and recipient idsmsg.set_recipient_id("123")
msg.set_message_id("xyz")
resp=agnSet.send()
