Postgresql – How to aggregate for first values in group

I have troubles creating certain aggregations. I’m using this table in Postgres:

CREATE TABLE public.customer_courier_chat_messages (
sender_app_type character varying(255),
customer_id integer,
from_id integer,
to_id integer,
chat_started_by_message boolean,
order_id integer,
order_stage character varying(255),
courier_id integer,
message_sent_time timestamp with time zone
);

Some sample rows:

INSERT INTO public.customer_courier_chat_messages(
    sender_app_type, customer_id, from_id, to_id, chat_started_by_message, order_id, order_stage, courier_id, message_sent_time)
VALUES  ('Customer IOS',99,99,21,FALSE,555,'PICKING_UP',21,timestamp '9/8/22 8:02'),
        ('Courier IOS',99,21,99,FALSE,555,'ARRIVING',21,timestamp '9/8/22 8:01'),
        ('Customer IOS',99,99,21,FALSE,555,'PICKING_UP',21,timestamp '9/8/22 8:00'),
        ('Courier Android',122,87,122,TRUE,38,'ADDRESS_DELIVERY',87,timestamp '9/8/22 7:55'),
        ('Customer Android',43,43,75,FALSE,875,'PICKING_UP',75,timestamp '7/8/22 14:55'),
        ('Courier Android',43,75,43,FALSE,875,'ARRIVING',75,timestamp '7/8/22 14:53'),
        ('Customer Android',43,43,75,FALSE,875,'PICKING_UP',75,timestamp '7/8/22 14:51'),
        ('Courier Android',43,75,43,TRUE,875,'ADDRESS_DELIVERY',75,timestamp '7/8/22 14:50'),
        ('Customer IOS',23,23,21,FALSE,134,'PICKING_UP',21,timestamp '7/8/22 10:02'),
        ('Courier IOS',23,21,23,FALSE,134,'ARRIVING',21,timestamp '7/8/22 10:01'),
        ('Customer IOS',23,23,21,FALSE,134,'PICKING_UP',21,timestamp '7/8/22 10:00');

I need build that aggregates individual messages into conversations. The query result should be used to create a table customer_courier_conversations (take into consideration that a conversation is unique per order).
a. The required fields are the following:

  • first_courier_message: Timestamp of the first courier message
  • first_customer_message: Timestamp of the first customer message
  • num_messages_courier: Number of messages sent by courier
  • num_messages_customer: Number of messages sent by customer
  • first_message_by: The first message sender (courier or customer)
  • conversation_started_at: Timestamp of the first message in the conversation

This is what I have so far:

SELECT  ccc.order_id, 
    ord.city_code,
    string_agg(ccc.message_sent_time::character varying, ',' order by ccc.courier_id desc) as first_courier_message,
    string_agg(ccc.message_sent_time::character varying, ',' order by ccc.customer_id asc) as first_customer_message,
    count(ccc.courier_id) as num_messages_courier,  
    count(ccc.customer_id) as num_messages_customer,
    string_agg(ccc.sender_app_type,' ' order by )
FROM customer_courier_chat_messages ccc
INNER JOIN "Orders" ord
  ON ccc.order_id = ord.order_id
group by ccc.order_id, ord.city_code;

Am I going in the right direction?
And how do I implement the last two items?

    you need to use the window function: first_value() and last_value()

    so in your case:

    select ....
FIRST_VALUE(ccc.courier_id) OVER( ORDER BY ccc.message_sent_time) as first_courier_message,
FIRST_VALUE(ccc.customer_id) OVER( ORDER BY ccc.message_sent_time) as first_customer_message,
...

    Do you mean something like this?

    WITH first_msg_by(first_msg_by) AS (
  SELECT SPLIT_PART(sender_app_type,' ',1)
  FROM public.customer_courier_chat_messages
  ORDER BY message_sent_time
  LIMIT 1
)
SELECT
  MIN  (CASE WHEN SPLIT_PART(sender_app_type,' ',1)='Courier'  THEN message_sent_time END) AS first_courier_msg
, MIN  (CASE WHEN SPLIT_PART(sender_app_type,' ',1)='Customer' THEN message_sent_time END) AS first_cust_msg
, COUNT(CASE WHEN SPLIT_PART(sender_app_type,' ',1)='Courier'  THEN message_sent_time END) AS count_courier_msg
, COUNT(CASE WHEN SPLIT_PART(sender_app_type,' ',1)='Customer' THEN message_sent_time END) AS count_cust_msg
, MIN(first_msg_by)                                                                        AS first_msg_by
, MIN(message_sent_time)                                                                   AS conv_started_at
FROM public.customer_courier_chat_messages CROSS JOIN first_msg_by;
    first_courier_msg first_cust_msg count_courier_msg count_cust_msg first_msg_by conv_started_at
    2022-07-08 10:01:00 2022-07-08 10:00:00 5 6 Customer 2022-07-08 10:00:00
