# Find prepared messages

> Returns a list of prepared messages matching a JSON request body filter. At least one of externalMessageId, creationDateFrom or lastUpdateDateFrom must be non-blank.<br>Dates accept ISO 8601 timestamps or YYYY-MM-DD values. For each date range (creationDateFrom/creationDateTo and lastUpdateDateFrom/lastUpdateDateTo), a To date requires its corresponding From date and must be later than it. An omitted To date defaults to the end of the current day; a date-only To value means the end of that day. Each range must span no more than 31 calendar days, including when the To date is omitted.<br>The optional limit must be between 1 and 500 inclusive and defaults to 500.<br>Request body examples:<br><br><pre>{<br> "externalMessageId": "MessageID"<br>} <br><br>{<br> "creationDateFrom": "2020-07-10",<br> "messageName" : "MessageToBeArchived",<br> "limit":1<br>} <br><br>{<br>"creationDateFrom": "2020-07-10",<br>"creationDateTo" : "2020-07-15",<br>"messageName" : "MessageToBeArchived",<br>"limit":1<br>} <br><br>{<br> "lastUpdateDateFrom": "2020-07-17",<br> "messageName" : "MessageToBeArchived",<br> "limit":1<br>} <br><br>{<br> "lastUpdateDateFrom": "2020-07-10",<br> "lastUpdateDateTo" : "2020-07-15",<br> "messageName" : "MessageToBeArchived",<br> "limit":1<br>} <br><br>{<br>"creationDateFrom": "2020-07-01",<br>"lastUpdateDateFrom": "2020-07-10",<br>"creationDateTo" : "2020-07-15",<br>"messageName" : "MessageToBeArchived",<br>"limit":1<br>}</pre>
