  title: Chatwoot Agents Client Messages API
  description: 'Chatwoot is an open-source customer engagement suite with a shared inbox across email, live-chat, social, and messaging channels. This specification covers the three Chatwoot API surfaces: the Application API (/api/v1/accounts/{account_id}/...) for account-scoped agent, contact, and conversation management; the Client API (/public/api/v1/inboxes/...) for building custom end-user chat widgets; and the Platform API (/platform/api/v1/...) for super-admin control of a Chatwoot installation. Application and Platform requests authenticate with an `api_access_token` HTTP header; Client requests are scoped by an inbox identifier and a contact source/pubsub identifier.'
