Send an email

Sends an email from a verified sending domain. Every recipient gets a separate copy with its own email ID, and each recipient costs one credit.

POST/emails

Works with sending and full API keys. Sends count against the workspace’s sending limits, and a successful response means the email is accepted and queued, not yet delivered. Track delivery with webhooks or Retrieve an email. Unverified workspaces can only send to their members’ account emails.

Headers

Idempotency-Keystring

A unique key, up to 256 letters, digits, - and _. A retry with the same key within 24 hours returns the first response instead of sending again. See Idempotency.

Body parameters

fromstringrequired

The sender, as hello@acme.com or Acme <hello@acme.com>. The address must be on a verified sending domain of the workspace, and on the key’s domain if the key is restricted to one.

tostring | string[]required

Recipients, as an array or a comma-separated string. Each entry can be ada@example.com or Ada Lovelace <ada@example.com>. Up to 50.

ccstring | string[]

Copy recipients. Up to 50.

bccstring | string[]

Blind copy recipients. Up to 50. They don’t appear in the message headers.

reply_tostring | string[]

Addresses for replies. If you send with a template and omit this, the template’s reply-to is used.

subjectstring

The subject line. Required unless template provides one.

htmlstring

The HTML body. You need html, text or both, unless template provides content.

textstring

The plain-text body. When you send both html and text, recipients get a multipart message.

templatestring

A template to send. Pass a template ID (tem_…) to use that exact version, or an alias to use its published version. subject, html and text in the request override the template’s. See Templates.

variablesobject

Values for Temple placeholders such as {{first_name}}, rendered in the subject, HTML and text. Works with templates and with inline content.

attachmentsobject[]

Files to attach. See Attachment object below.

headersobject

Extra MIME headers as name–value pairs, for example {"List-Unsubscribe": "<https://acme.com/unsubscribe>"}. Emailit sets Message-ID itself.

metaobject

Your own key–value data, for example {"order_id": "1042"}. Values must be strings. Stored with the email and included in reads and webhook payloads.

scheduled_atstring

When to send, as an ISO 8601 date-time such as 2026-10-02T09:00:00Z, or in English such as tomorrow at 9am. Include a time zone in ISO 8601 values. A time in the past, or a value that can’t be parsed (including a Unix timestamp), sends the email right away. Scheduled emails have the status scheduled until they’re sent.

trackingboolean | object

Turns open and click tracking on or off for this email: true, false, or {"loads": true, "clicks": false}. Defaults to the sending domain’s settings. Tracking only works when the domain’s tracking CNAME is verified; otherwise it’s off and the response shows false.

Attachment object

filenamestringrequired

The file name, including an allowed extension (see below).

contentstring

The file, Base64-encoded. Send content or url, not both.

urlstring

A public http or https URL to download the file from. Emailit fetches it when you send: the download must finish within 30 seconds, be at most 25 MB, and must not redirect.

content_typestring

The MIME type, such as application/pdf. Required with content. With url, defaults to the type the server returns.

content_idstring

Makes the attachment inline. Reference it in the HTML as <img src="cid:logo"> when content_id is logo.

encodingstringdefault: base64

The encoding of content, such as base64 or hex.

The whole message, including attachments, can be up to 40 MB. These file types are allowed:

List emails

Returns a page of emails, newest first. By default the list shows outgoing emails from the last 14 days.

GET/emails

Requires a full API key. Each recipient of a send is a separate email in this list.

Query parameters

pageintegerdefault: 1

The page to return.

limitintegerdefault: 25

Emails per page, from 1 to 100.

typestringdefault: outbound

outbound for emails you sent, or inbound for emails you received.

date_fromstring

Only emails created on or after this date, such as 2026-08-01 (from 00:00 UTC). Without it, the list starts 14 days ago. created_at filters don’t change this window.

date_tostring

Only emails created on or before this date, up to 23:59:59 UTC.

searchstring

Case-insensitive match on the recipient, sender or subject.

matchstringdefault: all

all or or. How the filters below combine.

orderstring

A sort key from the table below.

directionstring

asc or desc.

Filters

Add filters as key.condition=value, for example status.exact=bounced or created_at.after=2026-09-01. See Filtering for the conditions of each type.

Key	Type	Values and notes
`to`	string	Recipient address.
`from`	string	Sender as sent, including any display name.
`subject`	string
`status`	enum	`accepted`, `scheduled`, `delivered`, `loaded`, `clicked`, `attempted`, `bounced`, `failed`, `rejected`, `suppressed`, `received`, `complained`, `canceled`, `held`
`tag`	string	The email’s tag. Sending through the API or SMTP doesn’t set a tag at the moment.
`spam_score`	number
`created_at`	date
`updated_at`	date
`api_key_id`	string	ID of the API key that sent the email (`key_…`).
`sending_domain_id`	string	ID of the sending domain (`dom_…`).

Every key is also a sort key. The older status, rcpt_to, mail_from, subject, api_key_id and sending_domain_id query parameters still work: status matches exactly and the address and subject parameters match partially.

Returns

Returns a data array of email objects with next_page_url and previous_page_url. See Pagination. The page URLs don’t carry your filters, so request the next page with your own parameters and page increased by one.

objectstring

Always email.

idstring

The email ID.

typestring

outbound or inbound.

fromstring

The sender as sent.

tostring

The recipient of this copy.

subjectstring

The subject.

statusstring

The current status.

sizeinteger

Size of the message in bytes.

scheduled_atstring | null

When a scheduled email is due, or null.

created_atstring

When the email was accepted or received.

updated_atstring

When the status last changed.

metaobject | null

The meta you sent.

Cancel an email

Removes an email from the send queue and sets its status to canceled.

POST/emails/{id}/cancel

Works with sending and full API keys. Cancel is best effort: it pulls the email out of the queue, but if a delivery attempt has already started, that attempt may still complete and only the remaining retries are stopped. The response tells you which case applies in in_flight. Canceling fires an email.canceled event, and the credit isn’t refunded. The dashboard’s Cancel delivery action does the same thing.

Status	Can cancel	Notes
`scheduled`	Yes	Until 3 minutes before the scheduled time.
`accepted`	Yes	Queued and not yet delivered.
`attempted`	Yes	Stops the remaining retries after a temporary failure.
Any other	No	The email was already delivered, failed, or canceled.

To cancel a send with several recipients, cancel each ID from the ids map of the send response.

Path parameters

idstringrequired

The email ID.

Returns

objectstring

Always email.

idstring

The email ID.

statusstring

Always canceled.

in_flightboolean

true if a delivery attempt may already be under way and could still complete. false if the email was removed from the queue before any attempt.

messagestring

Retry an email

Queues a copy of an email that didn’t get through. The copy is a new email with its own ID, and the original keeps its status.

POST/emails/{id}/retry

Works with sending and full API keys. The copy has the same sender, recipient, subject, content, headers, meta and tracking settings, with a new Message-ID. It costs credits like a new send: one credit, or two for a campaign email.

You can retry an email when:

Its status is bounced, failed, suppressed or held.
It was created in the last 30 days.
Its content hasn’t been purged by your retention period, and its sending domain still exists.

Fix the cause first. A suppressed address that’s still on your suppression list is suppressed again, and a held email is held again until the reason it was held is resolved.

Path parameters

idstringrequired

The ID of the email to retry.

Returns

objectstring

Always email.

idstring

The ID of the new email.

original_idstring

The ID of the email you retried.

tokenstring

The new email’s internal token.

message_idstring

The new email’s Message-ID.

fromstring

The sender.

tostring

The recipient.

subjectstring

The subject.

statusstring

Always accepted.

created_atstring

When the new email was created.

Forward an email

Sends the content of an outgoing email to new recipients as a new email. The original email is unchanged.

POST/emails/{id}/forward

Works with sending and full API keys. By default the forward is a plain resend of the original HTML, text and attachments. Set include_headers to add a “Forwarded message” block and an optional note above the original content.

A forward is a new send, so the rules of Send an email apply: the from address must be on a verified sending domain, each recipient costs a credit and counts against the sending limits, tracking follows the domain’s settings, and the Idempotency-Key header is supported. On top of that, a workspace can forward at most 3 emails per hour.

Only outgoing emails can be forwarded, and only while their content is kept by your retention period. To forward received mail, use an automation.

Path parameters

idstringrequired

The ID of the outgoing email to forward.

Headers

Idempotency-Keystring

Makes the forward safe to retry. See Idempotency.

Body parameters

tostring | string[]required

The new recipients, as an array or a comma-separated string. Up to 50.

include_headersbooleandefault: false

When true, adds a “Forwarded message” block with the original sender, date, subject and recipient, and your note above it. When false, resends the original content unchanged.

commentstring

A plain-text note to put above the forwarded message. Only used with include_headers. body is accepted as an alias.

htmlstring

An HTML note to use instead of the escaped comment in the HTML part. Only used with include_headers.

textstring

A plain-text note to use instead of comment in the text part. Only used with include_headers.

fromstring

The sender. Defaults to the original email’s from.

subjectstring

The subject. Defaults to the original subject, or Fwd: and the original subject with include_headers.

Original attachments are included when their file type is allowed.

Returns

Returns the same object as Send an email, with two extra fields:

original_idstring

The ID of the email you forwarded.

messagestring

A confirmation message.

Over the forward limit, the API returns 429 with a retry-after header.
