Defaults to 'subscribed'|\n|`messages`| Optional | Messaging objects | See available messaging objects|\n\n### Request Components\n- [Broadcast](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/parameters/#broadcast)\n- [User Alias Object](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/objects_filters/user_alias_object/)\n- [Segment Identifier](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/identifier_types/)\n- [Connected Audience](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/objects_filters/connected_audience/)\n- [Campaign Identifier](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/identifier_types/)\n- [Recipients](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/objects_filters/recipient_object/)\n- [API Parameters](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/parameters)\n\n### Available Messaging Objects\n\n- [Android Objects](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/objects_filters/android_objects/)\n- [Apple Objects](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/objects_filters/apple_objects/)\n- [Content Cards Object](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/objects_filters/content_cards_object/)\n- [Email Object](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/objects_filters/email_object/)\n- [Kindle or FireOS Object](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/objects_filters/kindle_and_fireos_object/)\n- [SMS Object](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/objects_filters/sms_object/)\n- [Web Objects](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/objects_filters/web_objects/)\n- [Webhook Object](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/objects_filters/webhook_object/)\n- [Windows Objects](https://www.braze.com/docs/api/objects_filters/windows_objects/)\n\n\n## Response Details\n\nMessage sending endpoint responses will include the message’s `dispatch_id` for reference back to the dispatch of the message. The `dispatch_id` is the id of the message dispatch (unique id for each ‘transmission’ sent from the Braze platform). For more information on `dispatch_id` checkout out our [documentation]({{site.baseurl}}/help/help_articles/data/dispatch_id/)."
