export async function myGetConversationFunction(conversationId) {
  
  try {
    const conversationObject = await conversations.getConversation(conversationId);
    const channels = conversationObject.conversation.channels;
    const firstChannel = conversationObject.conversation.channels[0];
    const businessName = conversationObject.conversation.businessDisplayData.name;

    return conversationObject;

export const myGetConversationFunction = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, async (conversationId) => {
  
  try {
    const elevatedGetConversation = elevate(conversations.getConversation);
    const conversationObject = await elevatedGetConversation(conversationId);
    const channels = conversationObject.conversation.channels;
    const firstChannel = conversationObject.conversation.channels[0];
