    Hi iahiqosolutions,

     

    Regarding the methods you could not find:

    • Change message status on "Unread" or "New"
      • The "Note" class has a "markread" method. There doesn't appear to be a way to mark it new/unread.
    • Get message status("Read", "Unread" or "New")
      • There's no method or attribute to get the status directly; however, you can retreive only unread messages using the "mailbox/notes/inbox/unread" method on the "User" class.
    • Sort private messages in the inbox or outbox by Sent or Received date(Descending and Ascending)
    • Sort private messages in the inbox or outbox by Subject(Descending and Ascending)
      • There currently are not parameters available for sorting the notes in the response.

    Regards,

AdamN Is it now possible with PNv3 and APIv2 or has nothing changed here yet? I can find information in the documentation on how to mark PNv3 messages as read or unread (https://developer.khoros.com/khoroscommunitydevdocs/reference/notes-threads#update-private-message-thread), but I still can't find any documentation on how to determine the current status of a private message.

    waldemarhelm If a PM hasn't been read, the received_time field will not be present in the response. So you can use the absence or presence of this value to infer whether the message is read or unread.

      AdamN Looks good, thank you for this hint. 😊
