# Get messages from multiple chats in bulk across the agency's creators (POST batch)

> Returns the most recent messages for chats grouped by creator, across the creators the authenticated user's agency manages, in a single request.

This collapses the outer per-creator fan-out: instead of one batch call per managed creator (`POST /creators/{creatorUserUuid}/chats/messages/batch`), agencies send one request grouping chat UUIDs under each creator. Each creator group takes the same `chatUuids`, `sinceMessageUuid` and `limit` fields as the per-creator batch, so per-key behaviour is identical — just add the creator dimension.

Per-creator and per-chat errors are reported inside the 200 response body, so a single forbidden/missing creator or chat never collapses the whole request. A creator the agency does not manage is returned as `{ "error": "forbidden" | "not_found" }` at the creator level.

<Note>Maximum 50 chat UUIDs in total across all creators, and 25 creators per request.</Note>
<Note>Read-only: fetching messages in bulk does not mutate read state — messages are not marked read and `isRead` reflects each message's state at read time.</Note>
<Info>Requires: Agency admin access</Info>

  **Required scopes**

  * `read:agency` — Read agency information, including the agency's team members.
  * `read:chat` — Read chat conversations, messages, and chat-related data. This includes viewing chat lists and message history.
