[Python] Stream Chat System Message Customization

I've created a custom message type that I send via Python backend as a regular message type, howvever I can't figure out how to set the 'profile pic' or the name for the system message. I want to use our app's logo and name instead of the default picture and the name "system".

This is my message:

message = {
"text": f"Today's reading: {passage_reference}",
"isGroupPlanPassage": True,
"passageReference": passage_reference,
"passageData": {
"planId": plan_data.get("groupPlanID"),
"passageNumber": current_passage_number
},
"user": {"id": system_user_id},
"type": "regular"
}


I tried this, but it didn't work:

message = {
"text": f"Today's reading: {passage_reference}",
"isGroupPlanPassage": True,
"passageReference": passage_reference,
"passageData": {
"planId": plan_data.get("groupPlanID"),
"passageNumber": current_passage_number
},
"user": {
"id": system_user_id,
"name": app_name,
"image": image_url},
"type": "regular"
}


Anyone tried this themselves? Is it even possible? Thanks!
