Emails
Every operation in this group: what it accepts, what it returns and the errors it can answer with.
Operations
Send, schedule, cancel and retrieve.
POST/emails
Send an email
Sends now, or schedules with scheduledAt. Answers 200 when the message has already gone and 202 when something still has to happen to it, so a caller may branch on the status code. Honours Idempotency-Key.
The body can come from html, text, a stored template, or an existing draftId: one of the four, never two.
Add translate to send it in the recipient's language rather than yours. It is resolved at accept time, before any record of the message exists, so a scheduled send carries the words that were approved and a translation that could not be produced refuses the send rather than delivering the original. Works with template, which is the useful case: the rendered output is what gets translated. See the Languages section, and POST /emails/translate to show somebody the result first.

POST/emails/translate
Translate a message without sending it
The same round trip translate makes on a send, stopped one step early. The same function produces both, so what this shows is what would go out.
No scope of its own, deliberately. It grants nothing a sender could not already do, and a scope nobody can tell apart from emails:send on a consent screen makes every other scope on that list mean slightly less.
The body is capped at the same megabyte the send path allows, but translation itself refuses anything over 30,000 characters with translation_too_long. That is a refusal and not a truncation on purpose: half a translated message has no seam to show where it stopped, and the person reading acts on the half they were given.
Requires the emails:send scope.
Request body

<body>is sent to the model when the markup is a full document.Up to 1000000 characterstextstringPlain text body to translate. Translated separately when given alongside

POST/emails/check
Check how a message would be rated, without sending it
Scores a message the way a receiving mailbox would, before you send it: a spam score, a phishing score and an AI-writing score, each 0 to 100, with the signals behind them. Run it while someone writes, or before an automated send, and fix what it names.
The same checks score every message that arrives in an OpenEmail mailbox, so what you see here is what an OpenEmail recipient sees in Details. It cannot know a recipient's own filter, sender history or reputation, so a low score is a good sign and not a delivery guarantee.
No scope of its own, for the same reason as the translation preview: it grants nothing a sender could not already do. It spends no AI action and never calls a model.
Requires the emails:send scope.
Request body
fromstringThe address it will be sent from.
Up to 320 charactersfromNamestringThe display name it will carry. A name that claims another address or a known brand raises the phishing score.

Change a message that has not gone yet
Moves it with scheduledAt, and changes what it says or who it goes to with subject, html, text, from, to, cc and bcc, while it is still queued or scheduled. Send any of them together. A recipient list replaces the stored one whole, and from is checked as it is on a send, so it has to be an address the key may send as. A message that was translated when it was accepted keeps its wording, and one that was encrypted keeps its wording and its recipients: cancel it and send again instead.

msg_send id to move.

Every /tracking endpoint returns this whole, its list included.

Turning tracking on today does not make yesterday's mail start reporting, and a report that implied otherwise would read as "nobody opened it".
clicksbooleanAs
opens, for link rewriting. The two are independent switches.openedbooleanclickedbooleanattributablebooleanWhether every reading on this message can be pinned to a named recipient. False as soon as an unattributed copy has activity of its own, which is what happens whenever one body went to the whole list rather than a separate one per person. This is the flag that decides whether "Bob has not opened it" is a sentence a client is entitled to write, or whether all it may say is that somebody did.
recipientscarries the same fact one row at a time, and one row at a time is where it gets missed.openCountintegerOpens that looked like a person, with repeat fetches within thirty seconds collapsed. A preview pane redrawing is not a second reading. Through Gmail this is a floor and not a total: its proxy fetches the image once and caches it, so later readings never reach us.
clickCountintegerCounted clicks. Stronger evidence than an open, and worth weighting as such: images are blocked far more often than links go unfollowed, so a message with clicks and no opens was certainly read.
openCountRawintegerEvery open hit, the automated ones included.
openCountRaw - openCountis everything that was filtered out: Apple Mail Privacy Protection and corporate link scanners, which fetch on delivery whether or not a person ever looks, and alongside them the repeat fetches collapsed by the thirty-second window. Both are recorded and neither is counted, because discarding them outright would leave a gap in the log that nothing could explain. Do not read the difference as a machine count on its own. A message reopened twice in a minute lands in it too.clickCountRawintegerAs

date-time recipientsobject[]One entry per tracked copy, which is not always one entry per person. Absent only from the trimmed form on a
GET /emailsrow; every/trackingresponse carries it, list included.emailstringNull where the bytes could not be varied per person: an encrypted message, one too large to rebuild for each recipient, or a fallback carrier that takes the whole recipient list in a single call. The reading is real; which of the recipients did it is not knowable, and the only honest rendering is "someone on this message", never a name chosen out of the list.

linksobject[]The rewritten links, in the order they appeared in the message. Only links in the new part of the body are here: the quoted history under a reply belongs to whoever wrote it, and routing their URLs through our redirector would both rewrite their message and record the recipient "clicking" something we did not put there. Repeated destinations share one entry, because a campaign page linked from a header image, a button and a footer is one question asked three times. Absent only from the trimmed form on a
GET /emailsrow.idstringurlstringWhere it actually goes: the original href.
labelstringThe text the link read as in the message, where it had any. A bare URL rarely tells the sender which of five links somebody followed.

Translationobject
The preview, and exactly what a translate on POST /emails would produce for the same input. Show it, let someone edit it, then send the edited text as an ordinary html/subject with no translate on the request. Sending with translate after previewing translates a second time and discards the edits.
objectstring- One of
