I found that the
message_reference
field appears for messages with types6
(CHANNEL_PINNED_MESSAGE) and12
(CHANNEL_FOLLOW_ADD).For messages with type
6
(CHANNEL_PINNED_MESSAGE),message_reference
will point towards the pinned message, andreferenced_message
will be the pinned message's data if the pinned message still exists, but apparently only when getting a channel's message history.For messages with type
12
(CHANNEL_FOLLOW_ADD),message_reference
will point towards the channel that was followed, andreferenced_message
will not appear.I'm unsure if the way I described this all is that great -- but it was the best I felt I could do without adding a whole new message.
