Using the **'getTransactions' **method would be a recommended approach for checking if a specific message was received by a particular address.

The TON JS Examples repository on Github offers helpful resources, including a JavaScript code snippet that can be used to retrieve a list of transactions for a specific address.

The code example can be found at
