Threads

Get a conversation thread by id

Changed on

Returns a conversation thread: its metadata plus the inbound and outbound messages that belong to it, interleaved in time order (oldest first). A thread spans both received emails and your sends, so an agent can reconstruct an entire back-and-forth from one call instead of walking reply headers.

Each message carries a direction (inbound | outbound) and an id; fetch the full message via /emails/{id} or /sent-emails/{id} accordingly. Bodies are omitted here to keep the thread view lightweight.

Discover a thread id from the thread_id field on any email or sent-email (list or detail). The message list is capped; compare message_count against messages.length to detect truncation.

Query parameters

afterstring uuid

The id of an inbound email or sent email in this thread that you can read. Adds newer_inbound_count and newer_inbound to the response: the inbound mail in the thread that arrived after it. Use it before acting on a message to learn whether newer messages have arrived since. An id that is not a message in this thread you can read is a 400 validation_error.
