relatedSentMessageIdstring

This field has a value only if the type is RECEIVED. With SMS messages, it is not possible to link a reply directly with a specific sent message. However, if you specified REPLIABLE in the from property, BulkSMS will link any reply to the most recent message sent to a given phone number.

The relatedSentMessageId property keeps the information about this link.

You can use this property to derive an implicit conversation from a set of messages.

  • If a received reply message has a relatedSentMessageId, you can use it to retrieve the last message that was sent before the reply was received.
  • If you have the id of the sent message and you want all the received messages that relate to it, you can use the List Related Messages Operation.
