I'm trying in any possible way to send a direct message to an user, but I can't find a way. Please can you help me?

Assuming you're logged in:

const userId = await ig.user.getIdByUsername('username');
const thread = ig.entity.directThread([userId.toString()]);
await thread.broadcastText('Message from node');

I found a way to response to an instanciated chat, but I can't init a new chat. Any advise?
