No way to subscribe to filtered channels

[oliverbenns]

How do I simply subscribe to multiple channels at once with a filter? So that when new channels come in, they get picked up too.

I am trying to get a total unread count for multiple channels (with a filter) that updates automatically, except that you can't and you have to query and then watch, but then that will only watch those channels, not new ones that come in.

There is an internal createChannelManager - is that what I am after? How do people usually handle this common use case?

Hey @oliverbenns , you can get total unread count as follows:

chatClient.user.total_unread_count

Besides that you can get updates only for watched channels. Channels that are not watched are not being reported through the WS

[oliverbenns]

Yeah but that's the total unread count across all channels, not filtered channels.

[MartinCupela]

By filtered channels you mean all channels that match the filter, but may have not been paginated yet?

[oliverbenns]

I don't mind about pagination - even if it's just get all watched channels and provide a way to filter them before adding a count.
