# List messages by channel identity

Retrieves the last message sent to specified channel identities. In CONVERSATION_SOURCE mode, you can query either by channel_identities or by contact_ids. Note: Use either contact_ids OR channel_identities per request, not both. DISPATCH_SOURCE mode does not support contact_ids.

    List of messages associated to the referenced conversation.

  - `messages.accept_time` (string)
    The time Conversation API processed the message.

  - `messages.channel_identity` (object)
    A unique identity of message recipient on a particular channel.
For example, the channel identity on SMS, WHATSAPP or VIBERBM is a MSISDN phone number.

  - `messages.channel_identity.app_id` (string)
    Required if using a channel that uses app-scoped channel identities. Currently, FB Messenger, Instagram, LINE, and WeChat use app-scoped channel identities, which means contacts will have different channel identities on different Conversation API apps.

    Whether or not Conversation API should store contacts and conversations for the app. For more information, see [Processing Modes](https://developers.sinch.com/docs/conversation/processing-modes/).
