# resolveSenders(for:with:)

Resolves the user’s input when they search for messages sent by specific people.

## Declaration

```swift
optional func resolveSenders(for intent: INSearchForMessagesIntent, with completion: @escaping @Sendable ([INPersonResolutionResult]) -> Void)
```

```swift
optional func resolveSenders(for intent: INSearchForMessagesIntent) async -> [INPersonResolutionResult]
```

## Parameters

- `intent`: The intent object that contains details about the user’s request. Use this object to get the initial information, if any, provided by the user.
- `completion`: The block to execute with the resolution. You must execute this block while implementing this method. This block has no return value and takes the following parameter:

## Discussion

Discussion This method resolves the sender search parameter. Use the information in the intent object to identify the corresponding users in your app. Always strive toward a successful resolution of the specified users, but ask for confirmation for one or more users if there is some uncertainty. If you find multiple users matching the same name, consider asking the user to disambiguate from among the most likely candidates. When disambiguating users, provide as few choices as possible. If you find more than five possible users, consider a different resolution.
