Example

curl
curl -X POST "$OE/domains/b3e1f0a4-6c2d-4e8a-9f17-2d5c8a0b4e6f/addresses" -H "$AUTH" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{ "localPart": "billing", "label": "Invoices" }'
Response
{  "object": "address",  "id": "5f0c2b7e-8d41-4a6f-b913-7e2a0c4d9b18",  "domainId": "b3e1f0a4-6c2d-4e8a-9f17-2d5c8a0b4e6f",  "address": "[email protected]",  "localPart": "billing",  "label": "Invoices",  "enabled": true,  "lastReceivedAt": null,  "createdAt": "2026-09-25T10:00:00.000Z",  "updatedAt": "2026-09-25T10:00:00.000Z"}

Creating an address that was removed brings it back, enabled. Creating one that already exists turns it back on and returns it, and changes its label only when you send one.

With the catch-all on, a new address starts with the signature and settings the catch-all has.

An address reserved for an account answers 409 address_reserved, and a workspace at its address limit answers 422 workspace_limit_reached.
