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.
