How to check whether the Message is an Idea.

Hello guys,   How can I check whether the Message is an Idea.

    Assuming REST API, I believe an Idea is a board, not a message. You can get a list of boards and look up the "interaction_style" node in the XML, it should say "idea" for an Idea board, "qanda" for a Q & A board etc.

     

    Hope that helps!

Are you looking to do this via REST API or freemarker?
