to simply set the status immediately to completed.

There are two levels of status for any inbox message:
Global Message Status - This is the status of the entire message and holds true for everyone who received the message. These status values are as follows:
pending - indicates that there is some action for one of the users who received this message to act on.
active - indicates that this is a message that requires no action by any users who received this message.
completed - indicates that the action that was required is now completed.
Individual Message Status - This is the status of the message for each individual who received it. If you send a message to a group, each person who received the message will be able to see the message in one of the following states:
unread - indicates that this message has not be read by the current user
read - indicates that this message has been read by the current user
replied - indicates that the user has replied to this message
It is important to note that there is one more status not listed here which is deleted. This is a special state which cannot be set through this method. You should use the setDeleted method in this class if you wish to delete a message for a user.
