Sending a Message

When you're ready to send a message, it's exactly like sending any other Courier notification, with the difference being that you are sending it to the inbox channel.

{
    "message": {
        "to": {
            "user_id": <USER_ID>
        },
        "content": {
            "title": "How does {{ villain }} like his toast?",
            "body": "On the dark side."
        },
        "data": {
            "villain": "Darth Vader"
        }
        "routing": {
            "method": "single",
            "channels": ["inbox"]
        }
    }
}

Passing Data

If you provide information in the data field, it will be passed automatically through to SDK.

Note: If you pass information in data that isn't referenced in your content payload or in a template that you specify, it will still be passed through to your app. For example, this is useful when trying to launch a specific screen in your app on mobile with a deep link:

data.deeplinkUrl = https://starwars.com/villains/darth_maul

Using Elemental Syntax

Inbox SDKs support a subset of Elemental syntax for composing messages.
