# Message
A **message** is one entry in a thread's conversation. Messages carry rich text and any number of attachments, and they are what actually travels to the outside world when a thread is bound to a communication channel.
`direction` says where a message stands in that flow:
| Direction | Meaning |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `INTERNAL` | never leaves Solvio |
| `INBOUND` | arrived from an external channel |
| `OUTBOUND` | is delivered through the thread's channel |
Posting requires write access to the thread; editing is reserved for the message's own author.
## List the messages of a thread
> Returns the messages of a thread, ordered by \`id\` unless \`sort\` says otherwise.\
> \
> \*\*Filterable\*\* — \`id\`, \`threadId\`, \`authorId\`, \`replyToId\`, \`direction\`, \`originChannelId\`,\
> \`originMessageId\`, \`createdAt\`, \`updatedAt\`, and paths into the author, such as \`author.lastName\`.\
> \
> \*\*Sortable\*\* — \`id\`, \`threadId\`, \`createdAt\`, \`updatedAt\`.\
> \
> \*\*Searchable\*\* — nothing yet.\
> \
> \`direction\` tells where a message came from or is going: \`INTERNAL\` never leaves Solvio, \`INBOUND\`\
> arrived from an external channel, \`OUTBOUND\` is delivered through the thread's channel.

## Post a message to a thread
> Posts a message to a thread. Requires write access, so an \`OBSERVER\` is answered with \`403\`.\
> \
> \`content\` is required and is interpreted as plain text; the format can be changed afterwards when\
> the message is edited. \`replyToId\` has to refer to a message of the same thread, and \`attachmentIds\`\
> refer to attachments uploaded beforehand.\
> \
> Whether the message stays internal or is delivered onward depends on the thread: a thread bound to a\
> communication channel produces an \`OUTBOUND\` message to its participants, a thread without one\
> produces an \`INTERNAL\` message.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://hub.equipme.io/development/api-reference-app/message.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
