NowChatSdkCallbacks - didEndSessionWithId(sessionId: String)

sessionId	String	Sys_id of the session that ended. Table: Conversation Session [sys_cs_session]

Table 3. Returns

  override fun didEndSessionWithId(sessionId: String) {
    Log.i("NowChat", "Chat session $sessionId ended.")
  }

//override other methods

}
