Required Parameters	Usage	Description
Access Token or API Key	Authorization: Bearer {token} header	Pass the API key in the request header for request authentication.Read more about our authentication process.
Listid	listId (uuid) eg: "3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6	Each contact list in the MainBrainer CRM is assigned a `unique List ID` that acts as a Unique identifier for the particular list. In case you wish to send the SMS to contacts of a particular list, specify the list ID of the desired list using the parameter `listId`.
Template ID	Used in the request body and typically looks like this = TEMAIL-997	It is the unique identifier for a trigger template created in your MainBrainer account. The Email sending details are fetched as per the details saved under this specified template ID.
Recipient	Include email for example `[email protected]`	This parameter specifies the email address at which you want to send the email.
Personalization Substitution Tags	personalizationSubstitutionTags : { "tagName": "[name]", "tagValue": "Sink" }	These tags help you insert dynamic data at the time of email sending. In order to substitute the data at the time of the sending, follow the pattern "substitution_tag":"value” to substitute for the key/value pairs. -- In case you use the parameter 'recipients' to identify the email recipients, the substitutions will work as specified. -- In case you use the parameter 'recipients' to identify the email recipients, the substitutions will work as specified. -- In case you use both the parameters listID and recipients to identify the email recipients, and the information passed under recipients is not in conformity with the information stored in the CRM list, data will get substituted on the basis of information passed under the parameter recipients. -- In case you use the parameter ListID to identify multiple Lists, and a contact exists in both the lists with different information, data will get substituted from either of the lists on a random basis.
ScheduledDate-time	RFC3339 format (Y-m-d\TH:i:sP)	Pass the scheduled date and time of the message in RFC3339 format (Y-m-d\TH:i:sP). The date and time passed in this parameter will be converted as per the offset value specified in your account settings.
Webhook URL	Delivery Status	Use this parameter to specify the webhook URL where you want to receive delivery status updates for the email being sent. When the destination email client returns a delivery status, the status is instantly posted to this webhook URL. Using a Webhook enables your application to receive delivery updates as they happen, in an easily parsable JSON format. Updates will be sent for the following delivery statuses: + Processed + Dropped + Deferred + Bounce + Delivered + Open + Click + Spam Report + Unsubscribe

Note:

To identify the recipients for the Email sending, it is mandatory to specify at least one of the parameters - List ID or the parameter - recipients. In case you wish to include manually added recipients in addition to contacts of a MainBrainer CRM list, pass the relevant values in both the parameters - List ID and recipients.

Note:

Emails will only be sent to contacts if their emailOptIn status is true.

Note:

A maximum of 1000 emails can be sent per request.
