Msg()

Returns the content of a mobile-originated (MO) message. A mobile-originated message is a message sent from the mobile device of a subscriber to your SMS phone number. Compare MO messages to mobile-terminated (MT) messages, which are messages that you send to a subscriber’s mobile device.

important: You can only use this AMPscript function in MobileConnect. You can’t use this function in email messages, landing pages, or other content types.

Availability

<table> <tr> <td>Marketing Cloud Engagement</td> <td>✅ Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Marketing Cloud Next</td> <td>❌ No</td> </tr> </table>

Syntax

Msg(0)

The Msg() function accepts one parameter. The only accepted value for the parameter is 0.

Usage

This function returns the complete content of a message that was sent to you by a subscriber (an MO message).

%%[
  Var @incoming_message
  Set @incoming_message = Msg(0)
]%%

<p>%%=v(@incoming_message)=%%</p>

If an MO message contains the text “OFFER John Smith”, the example code returns the entire body of the message.
