Participant Conversation Resource


The ParticipantConversation resource lists all the Conversations for a specific participant. It performs the lookup using an exact match to the participant identifier.
This resource supports the lookup of conversations for a specific participant based on two types of query parameters:

  • Identity: for Chat users,
  • Address: for non-Chat members, e.g., SMS or WhatsApp addresses.

Users can provide only one parameter at a time, i.e. either identity or address. The returned data will be sorted by the conversationSid alphabetically.

The ParticipantConversation resource also supports pagination via additional parameters like: PageSize and PageToken.

(information)

Info

It's expected that you will encode the url for the ParticipantConversations endpoint, for example, if a phone number is passed as an address parameter the + character should be encoded as %2B.

(warning)

Warning

In the Group MMS use case, it may happen that the participant might not have an identifier (no address and no identity). So, this endpoint will not return conversations for this participant. Similarly if the identity of this participant with Projected Address is created later then this endpoint will not return conversations to which this participant was added when it was without identity.
