List replies in a message thread

You can retrieve replies to a message by identifying the parent message like the following. First, create a ThreadMessageListParams object and set properties related to the thread where the target replies belong to.

Dart

final params = ThreadedMessageListParams()
    ..replyType = ReplyType.all
    ..nextResultSize = 10
    ..previousResultSize = 10
    ..includeParentMessageInfo = true
    ..isInclusive = true;
    ..includeThreadInfo = false;

ThreadedMessageListParams

This table only contains properties shown in the code above. To see the comprehensive list of all available methods and properties, see ThreadedMessageListParams.

Property name	Type	Description
isInclusive	boolean	Determines whether to include messages sent exactly on the specified timestamp or have the matching message ID.
previousResultSize	int	Specifies the number of messages to retrieve, which are sent previously before a specified timestamp. Note that the actual number of results may be larger than the set value when there are multiple messages with the same timestamp as the earliest message.
nextResultSize	int	Specifies the number of messages to retrieve, which are sent later after a specified timestamp. Note that the actual number of results may be larger than the set value when there are multiple messages with the same timestamp as the latest message.
includeParentMessageInfo	boolean	Determines whether to include the information of the parent messages in the result. (Default: `false`)
replyType	string	Specifies the type of message to include in the results. - `NONE` (default): Includes unthreaded messages and only the parent messages of threaded messages. - `ALL`: Includes both threaded and unthreaded messages. - `ONLY_REPLY_TO_CHANNEL`: Includes unthreaded messages, parent messages of threaded messages, and messages sent to the channel as replies with the `reply_to_channel` property set to `true`.
includeThreadInfo	boolean	Determines whether to include the thread information of the messages in the result. (Default: `false`)
~~includeReplies~~	boolean	*(Deprecated)* Determines whether to include message replies in the result. Use `includeParentMessageInfo` instead.
~~includeParentMessageText~~	boolean	*(Deprecated)* Determines whether to include the parent message text in the results when the messages are replies in a thread. If the type of the parent message is `UserMessage`, the value is a `message` property. If it is `FileMessage`, the value is the `name` of the uploaded file. Use `replyType` instead.

Using the timestamp of the parent message, you can retrieve the parent message with its replies by passing a ThreadedMessageListParams object as an argument to the parameter in the getThreadedMessagesByTimestamp() method.

Dart

try {
    final result = await message.getThreadedMessagesByTimestamp(
        TIMESTAMP,
        params
    );
    // The result includes an object that contains a parent message and its replies.
} catch (e) {
    // Handle error.
}

List of parameters

Parameter name	Type	Description
timestamp	int	Specifies the timestamp to be the reference point of message retrieval in Unix milliseconds format.
