# Channel Message

The `ChannelMessageEvent` is used to monitor internal channel messages in the Cloud. You can send and receive channel messages to services through the API and process them there.

### Methods

1. **`getServiceIdFrom()`** Returns the service ID from which the message originates.
2. **`getServiceIdTo()`** Returns the service ID to which the message should be sent.
3. **`getChannel()`** Returns the channel that was specified during the sending.
4. **`getMessage()`** Returns the message that was sent.

### Code example

```java
@Eventable
public void handle(ChannelMessageEvent event) {
    var channel = event.getChannel();
    var message = event.getMessage();
    System.out.printf("Message received: Channel %s and message %s%n", channel, message);
}
```
