Merge posts

Understanding how to use FeatureOS API to build custom integrations.

Introduction

This endpoint allows you to merge one or more posts into a parent post. Merging consolidates votes, comments, and subscribers from the child post(s) into the parent post. You can merge up to 30 posts at once.
