Hi lenovoesupport  you can use canonical URL to identify the moved message.  If canonical URL is different than view href URL  it means it is moved message. (see screenshot)

Thanks for your reply.

For the moved thread, We've tried V2 API to query the message detail, but didn't see a field called canonical_url;

The same thing is for V1 API, but the value is null.

I am not sure if extra settings are required to show the canonical url property in the API.

If we could see canonical_url, I think the solution should work.

 

Thanks
