+Query events of a target using timestamp
+----------------------------------------
+
+Filter messages using the timestamp field. To filter messages by their timestamp, the `timestamp` parameter is appended to the messaging endpoint URL.
+This allows for precise retrieval of events that occurred within specific time frames or ranges.
+
+Example
+^^^^^^^^
+::
+
+    curl -X GET https://api.ona.io/api/v1/messaging?target_type=xform&target_id=1&verb=submission_edited&timestamp__lte=2024-06-20T00:00
+
+Where:
+
+- ``target_type=xform`` - The target object type is xform
+- ``target_id=1`` - The target object unique id, in this case the xform ID
+- ``verb=submission_edited`` - The action occured on the xform, in this case a submission in the xform has been edited
+- ``timestamp__lte=2024-06-20T00:00`` - Filters the events/messages to include only those that occurred on or before June 20, 2024, at 00:00 (midnight).
