Unread Private Messages Count in external Application

Hi all,

 

I would like to display how many private messages are not read yet by the connected community member, on the home page of my standard web application.

 

So, i think there are 2 possibility : ActiveCast or REST API

 

But i dont' find any information about how to do for "private message".

 

Anybody has a solution ?

    Hi pbaye,

     

    There are multiple "mailbox/notes" methods available in the User class of the REST API. These correspond to the private messenger you see in the UI. To get the unread count for a specific user, ie. user with the id 43, your call would look like this:

     

    <base URL for your community>/restapi/vc/users/id/43/mailbox/notes/inbox/unread/count

     

    I hope this helps!
