# Unable to identify message name from request

{% hint style="danger" %}
`Unable to identify message name from request`
{% endhint %}

Unifi needs to know what message it is dealing with before it can perform any processing. Identifying the message is one of the first operations it undertakes. If you receive this error, then Unifi has been unable to identify the message name from the inbound request.

Check the following:

* there should be a message name in the inbound request e.g. CreateIncident, UpdateChange, AddAttachment
* compare the inbound request structure with the identify message script on the integration. This script is how Unifi extracts the message name. If the script isn't aligned with the inbound payload structure, this error will be generated
