| move-thread | A thread was moved from one folder into another folder, a thread |

| send-message | A message was sent. This event type is a subset of create-message,|
| | including annotation, sending message in conversation pane, and |
| | sending a direct message |
| | |
| | NOTE: Because send-message is a subset of create-message, We |
| | recommend developers use create-message |
| delete-message | A message was deleted |
| edit-message | A message was edited |
| create-message | A message was created and sent. Additional data on the type of |
| | message can be found in sub_action. The options are: annotation, |
| | sending message in conversation pane, sending a direct message, |
| | and ending an edit session, which sends edits to the conversation |
| | pane |
| | |
| | NOTE: create-message is the preferred event type moving forward; |
| | we advise developers to rely on this instead of send-message |
