Example step
The step as a flow file holds it. Replace each value in <…>.
{
"config": {
"channel": "<channel>",
"connection": "<connection id>",
"cursor": "",
"inclusive": false,
"latest": "",
"limit": 100,
"oldest": "",
"returnAll": false
},
"label": "List messages",

}Older versions
A flow that already has this version keeps running it. A new step always gets the newest.
