Filtering Messages

The messages connection can be filtered to avoid pulling text that is part of thread warnings by the Messenger Apps. This is done via the source filter there only participants might be selected.

If this filter is not apply admin text (gray text appears in the thread by Messenger) will be retrieved as well.

Example

This call will retrieve the last 3 messages made only by the participants.

curl -i -X GET \
 "https://graph.facebook.com/v4.0/t_10155839492600149?fields=id,messages.source(PARTICIPANTS).limit(3)&access_token=<Access Token>"
