Mark messages as read
Updated: Nov 3, 2025
When you get a messages webhook indicating an incoming message, you can use the
message.id value to mark the message as read.
It's good practice to mark an incoming messages as read within 30 days of receipt. Marking a message as read will also mark earlier messages in the thread as read.
