Get conversation
All messages and private notes of one Inbox conversation.
MCP tool simpletexting_read → get_conversation
read
Reads one conversation by id: the contact, every text in it with its direction and time, attachments by name, and the private notes team members left. Reading does not change the conversation. Use it before send_message so a reply answers the whole thread, not only the last text.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| conversation_id string required | string | conversation_id from list_conversations. |
