Query Parameters

Name	Type	Description
conversation_id*	integer	Pass the ID of the Conversation that this message will be added to.
text*	string	Pass the text for the content of the message. It can include HTML. If a full URL is included in the text, it will be automatically converted to a link.
message_template_id	integer	Pass the ID of a message template to use as the content for this message. If the message template contains text, then this text would override the value you pass along with the text parameter. If the message template does not contain text, then any text you pass in the query parameter will be added to the message underneath the media player. The message will be attributed to the user who created this message template.
user_email	String	Email address of the user that this message should be attributed to. This user with this email address must be an owner or team member in the account. If blank, then the message will be posted anonymously.
internal	boolean	If true, then this message will be posted as an "internal" message, which is only visible to team members in the account. Internal messages are not visible to guests and non-logged-in users.
