Send a draft

email.draft.send

POST/api/v1/households/{household_id}/commands/email.draft.send

Command
Rigel asks first
Waits for the server

Sends the draft to its recipients: this reaches people outside the household, so a person must say yes first. Marks it sending; it goes out within moments and then becomes sent, or failed with a problem. Only a draft or failed draft can be sent. Fails with draft_not_found, draft_not_editable, no_address (no address to send from), no_recipients (nobody in To or Cc), domain_not_ready (the address's custom domain can't send yet) or rate_limited (the household has sent 20 emails in the last hour or 100 in the last day; details.retry_at says when to try again).

Parameters#

Send a draft: parameters
Field	Description
`household_id`pathstringrequired	The household's ID.
`Idempotency-Key`headerstringoptional	The command's ID. Reuse it when retrying the same command.

Request body#

JSON, as application/json.

Send a draft: request body fields
Field	Description
`email_draft_id`stringrequired	The draft to send.

Response#

200 The command was applied.

Send a draft: response fields
Field	Description
`result`objectrequired	What the command returned, such as the IDs it created.
`version`integerrequired	The household version after the command.

Errors#

Every error has the same envelope: error.code, error.message, error.details, error.recovery and error.request_id.

Send a draft: errors
Status	Code	When
`400`	`validation_failed`	A field is missing, misspelled or out of range. details.fields lists each problem.
`401`	`unauthenticated`	The request has no valid session.
`404`	`draft_not_found`	A draft that isn't there is refused.
`404`	`not_found`	The household doesn't exist, or you aren't a member of it.
`409`	`no_recipients`	No recipients is refused.
`409`	`no_address`	A draft with no from address is refused.
`409`	`draft_not_editable`	A draft already sending is refused. A sent draft is refused.
`409`	`domain_not_ready`	An address on a pending domain can't send. An address on a domain that only receives can't send. A broken domain can't send.
`409`	`rate_limited`	20 sent in the last hour is the limit. Drafts already sending count toward the hourly limit. 100 sent in the last day is the limit.
`409`	`idempotency_key_reused`	The Idempotency-Key was already used for a different command.

Examples#

These are real. Each scenario is one of the command's test cases, run on a household when this site was built, and the response is what the API returned.

Sending marks the draft sending and clears the problem

For Rigel#

Rigel's tool for this command is email_draft_send. Rigel shows the person what it will do and waits for a yes before running this, because it can't be fixed afterward or it reaches outside the household. The agent guide has the rest.
