Webhook payloads are the actual objects you will receive on trigger.

The webhook payload object is sent whenever an event triggers that you have subscribed to. Inbound and outbound message webhooks re-use the same object. We have not added other events yet, but platform events will likely use a slightly different object structure due to their different nature.

The webhook payload object for inbound messages

This is essentially the message object you also get in the response of the POST /messages call.
