Share an email’s timeline

POST/v1/emails/{id}/share

Makes a link anyone can open, without an account, to see what happened to one email: when it was sent, delivered, bounced or marked as spam, and the reasons. It never shows what the email said. Recipients are shown as m***@example.com unless full_addresses is true, and the subject can be left out with show_subject: false. The link works for expires_in_hours (1 hour to 30 days, default 7 days) and can be removed at any time. The address in url is returned only in this response: SendSend keeps just a hash of it. An email can have up to 10 working links.

Required scope: emails:read

Parameters

Name	In	Description
`id`required	path	The email id.

Request body

Field	Type
`expires_in_hours`optional	`integer`
`full_addresses`optional	`boolean`
`show_subject`optional	`boolean`

Unknown fields are rejected, so a typo never silently does nothing.

Example

curl -X POST 'https://api.sendsend.email/v1/emails/ID/share' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENDSEND_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "expires_in_hours": 24,
  "full_addresses": false
}'

Response `201`
