client.signatures()

Every method in this namespace: its signature, its parameters, what it returns and an example.

Methods

The signatures each address keeps: list them, add one, rename or rewrite it, choose which one signs new mail and which one signs replies and forwards, copy one to other addresses, and delete it.

signatures().list

List the signatures of the workspace or of one address, a page at a time

Scopessettings:readPages through results
Signature
Page list(RequestOptions options)

Returns one page of signatures, sorted by address and then oldest first. signatures().listAll collects every page and signatures().iterate walks them lazily. An address keeps a list of named signatures, as its Signature tab in the app shows. At most one of them is the default for new mail (isDefault) and at most one the default for replies and forwards (isReplyDefault), and one signature can be both.

Give address to read the signatures of one address, or of a catch-all with *@example.com. Without it the list holds every address. An address that only ever had the single signature of earlier versions shows it here as one signature called Signature, default for both.

emails().send adds the default of the address it sends from, and takes signatureId to add any other signature of that address instead.

Parameters

options.addressString

One address, such as [email protected], or *@example.com for the catch-all of a domain. Left out, every address is listed.

options.limitint

Page size, from 1 to 100. The server defaults to 25.

options.cursorString

The nextCursor of the previous page, passed back as it came. Leave it out for the first page.

options.apiKeyString

Overrides the client's API key for this call only.

Returns

A Page of signature maps, with items, hasMore and nextCursor. Each item has id, address, name, html, isDefault, isReplyDefault, createdAt and updatedAt.

Example

Page page = client.signatures().list(RequestOptions.of("address", "[email protected]")); for (Map<String, Object> signature : page) {    System.out.println(signature.get("name") + " " + signature.get("isDefault") + " " + signature.get("isReplyDefault"));} if (page.hasMore()) {    System.out.println("Next page: " + page.nextCursor());}

Notes

  • A key or an app limited to particular addresses or domains sees only the signatures of the addresses it holds, and those of a catch-all only when it holds the domain whole.

  • An address that is not an address, or that names a whole domain with @example.com, is a 422 invalid_parameter.

  • The cursor is opaque and holds where the last row sat in this order, so a signature added or deleted between pages never breaks the walk. A cursor this list did not hand out is a 400 invalid_cursor.

signatures().listAll

Collect every signature into one list

Scopessettings:readPages through results
Signature
List<Map<String, Object>> listAll(RequestOptions options)

Walks every page of signatures().list and returns all signatures in one list, sorted by address and then oldest first. One request per page. Give address to collect the signatures of one address or catch-all.

Parameters

options.addressString

One address, or *@example.com for a catch-all. Left out, every address is collected.

options.limitint

Page size for each request, from 1 to 100. The server defaults to 25.

options.cursorString

Starts the walk after this cursor instead of the first page.

options.apiKeyString

Overrides the client's API key for every page of this walk.

Returns

A list of signature maps holding every signature.

Example

List<Map<String, Object>> signatures = client.signatures().listAll(RequestOptions.of("address", "[email protected]")); for (Map<String, Object> signature : signatures) {    if ("Short".equals(signature.get("name"))) {        client.emails().send(Body.of(            "from", "[email protected]",            "to", "[email protected]",            "subject", "Quick note",            "text", "See you on Thursday.",            "signatureId", signature.get("id")        ));    }}

Notes

  • If any page fails, the exception is thrown and the signatures already fetched are discarded.

signatures().iterate

Stream the signatures one at a time

Scopessettings:readPages through results
Signature
PagedIterable iterate(RequestOptions options)

Returns a PagedIterable that yields signatures one at a time, sorted by address and then oldest first, and requests the next page only once the current one is used up. Nothing is fetched until the loop starts, and breaking out of the for stops the requests.

Parameters

options.addressString

One address, or *@example.com for a catch-all. Left out, every address is walked.

options.limitint

Page size for each request, from 1 to 100. The server defaults to 25.

options.cursorString

Starts the walk after this cursor instead of the first page.

options.apiKeyString

Overrides the client's API key for every page of this walk.

Returns

A PagedIterable that yields one signature map per step.

Example

for (Map<String, Object> signature : client.signatures().iterate()) {    if (Boolean.TRUE.equals(signature.get("isDefault"))) {        System.out.println(signature.get("address") + " signs new mail with " + signature.get("name"));    }}

Notes

  • The PagedIterable is lazy, so an abandoned loop costs only the pages you consumed.

signatures().get

Read one signature by id

Scopessettings:read
Signature
Map<String, Object> get(String id, RequestOptions options)

Looks up a single signature and returns it in the same shape as a row of signatures().list: the address it belongs to, its name, its HTML and whether it is the default for new mail, for replies and forwards, for both or for neither.

Parameters

idStringRequired

Signature id, which starts with sig_.

options.apiKeyString

Overrides the client's API key for this call only.

Returns

A map with id, address, name, html, isDefault, isReplyDefault, createdAt and updatedAt.

Example

Map<String, Object> signature = client.signatures().get("sig_8f2c1a9b7d3e4f60a1b2c3d4"); System.out.println(signature.get("address") + " " + signature.get("name") + " " + signature.get("html"));

Notes

  • A missing signature throws a NotFoundException, whose isNotFound() is true and whose code() is resource_not_found. So does one on an address a narrowed key does not hold.

signatures().create

Add a signature to an address

Scopessettings:write
Signature
Map<String, Object> create(Map<String, Object> body, RequestOptions options)

Adds a signature to one address, or to a catch-all with *@example.com, and returns it as it is stored. name is what the app calls it and is unique on its address, whatever the case, so a second Work on the same address is a 409 signature_name_taken. html is sanitised the way outgoing mail is and has to keep some text or an image, so the stored HTML can differ from what you sent.

The first signature of an address becomes its default for new mail and for replies and forwards, unless isDefault or isReplyDefault says false. A later signature becomes a default only when you ask, and then takes that place from the signature that held it. An address holds at most 50 signatures, and the call past that is a 422 signature_limit_reached.

The address has to be one of the workspace, or a catch-all on a verified domain here with its catch-all on.

Parameters

body.addressStringRequired

The address the signature is for, such as [email protected], or *@example.com for the catch-all of a domain.

body.nameStringRequired

What the signature is called, trimmed, 1 to 80 characters. Unique on its address, whatever the case.

body.htmlStringRequired

The signature as HTML, at most 150,000 characters before and after sanitising. It has to keep some text or an image.

body.isDefaultboolean

true makes it the signature of new mail from the address. Left out, only the first signature of an address becomes that.

body.isReplyDefaultboolean

true makes it the signature of replies and forwards from the address. Left out, only the first signature of an address becomes that.

options.apiKeyString

Overrides the client's API key for this call only.

Returns

A map with the new id, the trimmed name, the sanitised html, isDefault and isReplyDefault.

Example

Map<String, Object> signature = client.signatures().create(Body.of(    "address", "[email protected]",    "name", "Short",    "html", "<p>Ada<br>Acme Ltd</p>",    "isReplyDefault", true)); System.out.println(signature.get("id") + " " + signature.get("isDefault") + " " + signature.get("isReplyDefault"));

Notes

  • The SDK does not retry a create after a network failure. If you retry by hand after a lost response, a 409 signature_name_taken means the first attempt succeeded.

  • A key or an app limited to particular addresses or domains can only add to an address it holds, and to a catch-all only when it holds the domain whole. Anything else is a 422 capability_unsupported.

  • copy puts the same signature on other addresses.

signatures().update

Rename a signature, rewrite it or change what it is the default for

Scopessettings:write
Signature
Map<String, Object> update(String id, Map<String, Object> patch, RequestOptions options)

Changes a signature and returns it as it is stored. Send any of name, html, isDefault and isReplyDefault: a field left out stays as it is, and a patch with none of them is a 422.

"isDefault", true makes it the signature of new mail from its address in place of the one that was. "isDefault", false takes that away when this signature held it, so new mail from the address goes out with no signature until another one is chosen. isReplyDefault does the same for replies and forwards. The two are independent, so one signature can sign new mail and another, shorter one the replies.

A new name another signature of the address already has, compared without case, is a 409 signature_name_taken. The HTML is sanitised again and has to keep some text or an image. A message that is already scheduled picks up the new HTML when it goes out.

Parameters

idStringRequired

Signature id, which starts with sig_.

patch.nameString

New name, trimmed, 1 to 80 characters. Left out, the name stays.

patch.htmlString

New HTML, at most 150,000 characters before and after sanitising. Left out, the HTML stays.

patch.isDefaultboolean

true makes it the default for new mail, false takes that away when it held it. Left out, nothing changes.

patch.isReplyDefaultboolean

true makes it the default for replies and forwards, false takes that away when it held it. Left out, nothing changes.

options.apiKeyString

Overrides the client's API key for this call only.

Returns

A map with the unchanged id and address and the new name, html, isDefault and isReplyDefault.

Example

Map<String, Object> saved = client.signatures().update("sig_8f2c1a9b7d3e4f60a1b2c3d4", Body.of("isDefault", true)); System.out.println(saved.get("name") + " " + saved.get("isDefault"));

Notes

  • The SDK retries this call after a network failure, since the same patch sent twice leaves the same signature.

  • settings().update with an address still takes signature: it rewrites the HTML of the default for new mail, and adds a signature called Signature when the address has no default.

signatures().delete

Delete a signature

Scopessettings:write
Signature
Map<String, Object> delete(String id, RequestOptions options)

Deletes a signature for good. When it was a default, that default is left empty, so mail it would have signed goes out with no signature until another one is chosen with update. A scheduled message that named it with signatureId carries the default of its address instead. There is no undo.

Parameters

idStringRequired

Signature id, which starts with sig_.

options.apiKeyString

Overrides the client's API key for this call only.

Returns

A map with object set to signature, id, address and deleted set to true.

Example

Map<String, Object> removed = client.signatures().delete("sig_8f2c1a9b7d3e4f60a1b2c3d4"); System.out.println(removed.get("address") + " " + removed.get("deleted"));

Notes

  • The SDK does not retry a delete. A 404 on your own second attempt after a lost response means the first one worked.

signatures().copy

Copy a signature to other addresses

Scopessettings:write
Signature
List<Map<String, Object>> copy(String id, Map<String, Object> body, RequestOptions options)

Puts a copy of a signature on up to 500 other addresses or catch-alls, as Copy to other addresses does in the app, and returns the copies. An address that already has a signature with the same name, whatever the case, gets its HTML replaced, so copying again after an edit brings every copy up to date. Any other address gets a new signature with that name.

A copy becomes the default for new mail where isDefault is true and the default for replies and forwards where isReplyDefault is true. On an address that had no signature at all it becomes both unless you say false. Left out, the defaults of the other addresses stay as they are.

The address the signature is already on is skipped. Each copy is its own signature from then on, with its own id: editing the original later changes no copy until you copy again.

Parameters

idStringRequired

The signature to copy.

body.addressesList<String>Required

1 to 500 addresses to copy it to. Each is one address or *@example.com for a catch-all.

body.isDefaultboolean

true makes each copy the default for new mail on its address.

body.isReplyDefaultboolean

true makes each copy the default for replies and forwards on its address.

options.apiKeyString

Overrides the client's API key for this call only.

Returns

A list of signature maps, one copy for each address, in the order given.

Example

List<Map<String, Object>> copies = client.signatures().copy("sig_8f2c1a9b7d3e4f60a1b2c3d4", Body.of(    "addresses", List.of("[email protected]", "[email protected]"),    "isDefault", true)); for (Map<String, Object> copy : copies) {    System.out.println(copy.get("address") + " " + copy.get("id") + " " + copy.get("isDefault"));}

Notes

  • The copies are written one address at a time. When an address is full, the call fails with 422 signature_limit_reached and the addresses before it keep their copy, so the same call can be sent again once there is room.

  • The SDK retries this call after a network failure, since copying twice leaves the same signatures.

  • A key or an app limited to particular addresses or domains can only copy to addresses it holds. One it does not hold fails the whole call with 422 capability_unsupported before anything is written.
