Hi, @ReiAkimoto 👋 One place to check out is the [Conversations inbox and messages APIs (BETA)](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/conversations/conversations). Are you saying that you want a feature that is not listed there? Or is there another use case that is documented you need help with?

Best,

Jaycee

Thank you for the message.  
Yes, the method I want to use is not on [that page](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/conversations/conversations), and when I contacted HubSpot support, they told me it’s currently not possible. I hope for a feature addition.
