It is a CURSOR feed, not a search: pass the returned cursor back as `since` to get only what has arrived since. Only this org's messages are stored under this org, so the feed can never carry another tenant's chat. ## Request 2 fields. | Field | In | Type | Required | Description | | ------- | ----- | ------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `since` | query | string | — | Since is the exclusive cursor: only messages with a higher row id come back. | | `limit` | query | string | — | Limit caps how many messages come back. | ## Response | Status | Body | Meaning | | --------- | ----------------- | ------- | | `200` | channel.inboxPage | ok | | `default` | problem-details | refused | `200` body — 12 fields. | Field | In | Type | Always | Description | | ----------------------- | ---- | -------------------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `cursor` | body | integer (int64) | — | Cursor is the row id to pass back as `since` for the next page. | | `messages` | body | channel.inboxView\[] | — | Messages are the inbound messages, oldest first. | | `messages[].account` | body | string | — | Account is the lowercased external id of the org's connected account on that transport: the Discord guild id, the Slack team id, the Teams AAD tenant id, or the bound Telegram chat id. | | `messages[].channel` | body | string | — | Channel is the transport this message arrived on — discord, slack, teams or telegram — and the `:channel` segment to reply through. | | `messages[].createdAt` | body | integer (int64) | — | CreatedAt is Unix SECONDS, stamped by the ingest goroutine when the message was accepted — not the transport's own send time. | | `messages[].id` | body | integer (int64) | — | ID is the store's row id, assigned on insert — SERVER-SET, and the cursor: pass a page's last id back as `since`. | | `messages[].replyTo` | body | string | — | ReplyTo is the transport's reply target for this message: Slack's thread\_ts, or the Telegram message id it arrived as. | | `messages[].roomId` | body | string | — | RoomID is the conversation on the ORIGINATING transport, and the value to send back as `room.id`: a Discord channel snowflake, a Slack conversation id (D… IM, C… public channel, G… private or mpim), a Teams conversation id (19:…@thread.… for a channel or group chat, a:… for a personal chat), or a Telegram chat id in decimal (negative for a group, positive for a DM). | | `messages[].roomKind` | body | string | — | RoomKind is how ingest classified the room: "dm", "group" or "thread". | | `messages[].sender` | body | string | — | Sender is the TRANSPORT-NATIVE user id of whoever wrote the message — a Discord member.user.id, a Slack U… user id, a Teams aadObjectId (falling back to from.id), a Telegram from.id in decimal. | | `messages[].senderUser` | body | string | — | SenderUser is the HANZO account subject that chat identity is linked to, resolved at ingest through the org's user link. | | `messages[].text` | body | string | — | Text is the body as the transport delivered it, with the bot mention already stripped by the ingress adapter (on Discord it is the /hanzo prompt argument, since that ingress is slash commands only), truncated to 8 KiB on store. | Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors). ## Examples **CLI** ```bash hanzo channel inbox ``` **SDK** **.ts** ```ts import { Configuration, ChannelApi } from 'hanzoai';
