Get message updates

Receive real-time updates when messages or reactions change:

• StreamUpdates() - updates for a single Message object
• StreamUpdatesOn() - updates for multiple Message objects

Both methods accept a callback invoked when message content or reactions change. Call StreamUpdates(true) to enable the OnUpdated event on the message entity.

Method naming

Earlier versions used SetListeningForUpdates() to enable streaming. This method has been superseded by StreamUpdates(), though it remains available for backward compatibility.

Method signature

These methods take the following parameters:

• StreamUpdates()

  1message.StreamUpdates(bool stream)

• OnUpdated

  1// event on the Message entity — enabled by StreamUpdates()
  2public event Action<Message> OnUpdated;
  3// needs a corresponding event handler
  4void EventHandler(Message message)

• StreamUpdatesOn() (static)

  1Message.StreamUpdatesOn(
  2    List<Message> messages,
  3    Action<Message> listener
  4)

Input

Parameter	Required in StreamUpdates()	Required in OnUpdated	Required in StreamUpdatesOn()	Description
stream Type: bool Default: n/a	Yes	n/a	n/a	Whether to start (true) or stop (false) listening to Message object updates.
messages Type: List<Message> Default: n/a	No	No	Yes	List of Message objects for which you want to get updates.
listener Type: Action<Message> Default: n/a	No	No	Yes	Callback that receives the specific message that was updated.
