List Recent Incoming Messages
View All WhatsApp Messaging API APIs →Return messages received in real time while the session was connected, in reverse chronological order (newest first). Each item includes the message id, chatJid, sender, type, text, and timestamp. The inbox is an in-memory cache holding the most recent 500 messages per session and is cleared on restart. Use limit to cap how many are returned. Ideal for polling new inbound messages to power auto-replies.
