Initialize Chat Group

Initializes a new XChat group conversation and returns a unique conversation ID.

This endpoint is the first step in creating a group chat. The returned conversation_id should be used in subsequent calls to POST /chat/conversations/group to fully create and configure the group with members, admins, encryption keys, and other settings.

Workflow:

1. Call this endpoint to get a conversation_id
2. Use that conversation_id when calling POST /chat/conversations/group to create the group

Authentication:

• Requires OAuth 1.0a User Context or OAuth 2.0 User Context
• Required scope: dm.write

POST /2/chat/conversations/group/initialize
