Error about connectapihelper HOT 4 CLOSED

I think the readme needs to be updated. Does it work if you cast the FeedElement to be a FeedItem? For example:

ConnectApi.FeedItem fi = (ConnectApi.FeedItem) ConnectApiHelper.postFeedItemWithMentions(Network.getNetworkId(), 'me', 'Hey there {005D00000015tjz}, how are you?');

from connectapihelper.

That worked.

How can I set the RelatedRecordId for the same post? I need to associate
the post to a WorkThanks record. Easy enough to do normally. Just not sure
how to do with this helper method.

Not sure about that. Work Thanks posts aren't supported in the ConnectApi family of methods, so you'll need to use the FeedItem sObject. Maybe you can do it like this after the above call to ConnectApiHelper.postFeedItemWithMentions()?

FeedItem f = new FeedItem(id = fi.id);
f.RelatedRecordId = 'your_record_id';
update f;

from connectapihelper.

That didn't work. However it got me thinking. How about I create my post as
normal and then have the helper method update it with the @mentions. I see
in the helper towards the bottom there are some other methods but i don't
know how to use them. Can someone help me out?

This is how I create the FeedItem with the associated Work Thanks record.

              //Post to Chatter
              FeedItem F = new FeedItem(
                  Body = msg2,
                  CreatedById = cUser.Id,
                  ParentId = cGroup.Id,
                  RelatedRecordId = t.Id,
                  Type = 'RypplePost'
              );
              try {
                  insert F;
              } catch(DmlException e) {
                  System.debug('The following exception has occurred: '

• e.getMessage());
  }

            //Update Record with @Mention
            //Here is where the connectapi should be called but don't
  

  know how to do it.
