DirectMessageEntity Type
Represents a directed communication between a user and several other users. Direct messages by default appear in the
Communications stream and can be filtered down to just direct messages over the last 30 days (Admin configurable) as
well. After the initial message is created participants are permitted to reply directly, when the direct message is
replied to it will be pushed to the top of each of the participants communications streams.
