WireMessage

The message envelope. Retracted messages come back with retracted: true and content: null (a tombstone). Ephemeral messages are not persisted and carry seq: null (they are not returned by history).

  • content
    required

    The message payload, opaque to the platform. Any JSON value, including null for retracted messages.

  • ephemeral
    Type: boolean
    required

    Whether the message is ephemeral (not persisted, no seq).

  • id
    Type: string
    required

    Platform-assigned message id. Unique within the channel.

  • kind
    Type: string
    required

    Content class (text in v1).

  • retracted
    Type: boolean
    required

    Whether the message was retracted after publish.

  • sender
    Type: WireSender
    required
    Properties: 3
  • seq
    Type: integer | null
    required

    Per-channel sequence number, or null for ephemeral messages.

  • timestamp
    Type: integer
    required

    Epoch milliseconds.

  • type
    Type: string
    required

    Userland discriminator.

  • mentions
    Type: array of Mention
    Properties: 1
  • threadParentId
    Type: string

    Present on thread replies: the id of the message that started the thread — that id IS the thread id.

  • threadSeq
    Type: integer

    Present on thread replies: dense position within the thread's OWN sequence space, independent of the channel's seq and of sibling threads. Per-thread unread is derived from this, not from seq.

  • to
    Type: string

    Present when the message was delivered to a single recipient (to:-send).
