Facebook - Get conversation thread ID with message ID?

Question

When I receive a "message received callback" event from the Facebook Realtime API (webhooks) I want to fetch previous messages in the conversation. To do that I need the ID of the conversation thread.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/webhook-reference/message?locale=en_US

The event does not contain any information about the ID of the conversation thread (t_id). It only contains the message ID (mid).

Is there a way to get the conversation thread ID?

Answer 1

I thing there is an easier way to do this. You can use the user_id filter on conversations:

See the Parameters section from here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/page/conversations/
