Everything about your messages

## Create a message

 - [POST /messages](https://developers.intercom.com/docs/references/2.9/rest-api/api.intercom.io/messages/createmessage.md): You can create a message that has been initiated by an admin. The conversation can be either an in-app message or an email.

> 🚧 Sending for visitors
>
> There can be a short delay between when a contact is created and when a contact becomes available to be messaged through the API. A 404 Not Found error will be returned in this case.

This will return the Message model that has been created.

> 🚧 Retrieving Associated Conversations
>
> As this is a message, there will be no conversation present until the contact responds. Once they do, you will have to search for a contact's conversations with the id of the message.
