//You can add multiple requests in one method call, for this a list is needed
List<Social25.Post_Message.PostMessageRequest> postMessageRequests = new List<Social25.Post_Message.PostMessageRequest>();
//Instantiate the request object
Social25.Post_Message.PostMessageRequest postMessageRequest = new Social25.Post_Message.PostMessageRequest();

postMessageRequest.conversation_id = '{The conversation identifier}';
postMessageRequest.type = 'text';
postMessageRequest.use_bulk = {true or false};
postMessageRequest.count_as_inbound = {true or false};
postMessageRequest.text = '{The text you want to send}';
//Add the request object to the list
postMessageRequests.add(postMessageRequest);
//Call the 'Post Message' method, a list with the send messages are returned only when asynchronous was set to false, else you get an empty list
List<Social25.Post_Message.PostMessageResponse> responses = Social25.Post_Message.call(postMessageRequests);
for (Social25.Post_Message.PostMessageResponse postMessageResponse : responses) {
