Takeaways
The Email Metrics API returns deliverability and engagement data, including send volume and unsubscribe rate, filterable by period, domain, broadcast, or email.
The Headless Webhook API lets you list events, retrieve payloads, list attempts, replay events, and rotate signing secrets programmatically.
The Duplicate Broadcast API copies any broadcast, including sent ones, into a draft that preserves segment, topic, sender, subject, reply-to, preview text, and content.
FAQ
What data does the Email Metrics API return?
The Email Metrics API returns deliverability and engagement data like send volume and unsubscribe rate, grouped or filtered by period, domain, broadcast, or email. It powers custom dashboards, campaign reports, and alerts for bounce or complaint rate spikes.
How does the Duplicate Broadcast API work?
The Duplicate Broadcast API copies any broadcast, including sent ones, into a new draft. The copy keeps the segment, topic, sender, subject, reply-to, preview text, and content, so nothing goes out until you review and send it.
What does the Share Email API do?
The Share Email API returns a link to a read-only view of any sent or received email, viewable by anyone with the link. Links expire after a duration, and you can use it to attach live previews to support tickets or let users open a 'view this email' link from your app.
