List events

Lists past events of one type, newest first, so a tool can poll for new ones. Needs inbox:read, and also contacts:read for contact.opted_out. Read-only; webhooks push the same events without polling.

#Lists, filters and sorting

  • Items per page: limit from 1 to 100, default 20 (MCP: default 20, maximum 50).
  • Next page: send next_cursor of the answer as cursor. The cursor only works with the same filters. See Pagination.
  • Filters: type, created_after.
  • Sorting: default created_at descending; order_by accepts created_at.
