Get all unread messages. The messages you have sent are never returned, only messages you have received and not read. It does not mark those messages as read.
Query parameters
Optional. The ID of one of your workspaces. When provided, the response contains the unread messages belonging to that workspace rather than the unread messages belonging to your own account, so you see the unread messages of every member of the workspace in one place.
This parameter is intended for workspaces that have workspace messaging enabled. If workspace messaging is not enabled for the given workspace, no unread messages are returned.
You must be a member of the workspace you request. This parameter cannot be used by participants.
