GET /messages

Issuing a GET call to messages will allow you to retrieve individual messages for all conversations in the Brand.

Alternative: GET /conversations/{slug}/messages

Alternatively, you can issue a GET to messages within a specific conversation to get messages scoped to that conversation.

Example Request

curl 'https://{brand}.reamaze.io/api/v1/messages' \
  -u {login-email}:{api-token} \
  -H 'Accept: application/json'

Optional Params

Notes

• The visibility value can be the following values: 0 (Regular), 1 (Internal Note), or 2 (Collision Detected Message).
• The origin value denotes where the message originated: Chat (0), Email (1), Twitter (2), Facebook (3), Classic Mode Chat (6), API (7), Instagram (8), SMS (9), Voice (10), Custom (11), WhatsApp (15), Staff Outbound (16), Contact Form (17), Instagram DM (19)
• The origin_id value specifies a unique identifier of the message. This will help prevent duplicates and identify the message that you are creating.
• The recipients array is available for email messages and lists users (both staff and customers) who received an explicit email notification about this message. Note this is not necessarily the set of users who have access to the message.
• The results are sorted by created_at in descending order.
