openemail.dnsConnections

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

Methods

The DNS provider accounts connected to the workspace, through which OpenEmail writes the records of a domain itself: list them, read what disconnecting one would leave behind, and disconnect it. Connecting one is done in the app, because the provider asks the person to sign in.

dnsConnections.list()

List the DNS provider accounts connected to the workspace

Scopesdomains:read
Signature
list(options?: RequestScope): Promise<DnsConnectionListResource>

Returns every DNS provider account connected to the workspace, through which OpenEmail writes the records of a domain itself, as the Providers tab of the domains page in the app shows them. Each one names the domains it serves, how many records OpenEmail wrote through it and still keeps, and whether it is active, needs connecting again (needs-reauth) or was disconnected (revoked).

configured is false when this server cannot connect a provider at all. A connection is made in the app, because the provider asks the person to sign in, so there is no method to create one.

Parameters

options.signalAbortSignal

Cancels the request.

options.apiKeystring

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

Returns

DnsConnectionListResource, with every connection in data, disconnected ones included.

Example

const { configured, data } = await openemail.dnsConnections.list() for (const connection of data) console.log(connection.subject, connection.status, connection.domains.length)

Notes

  • A GET is retried automatically on network failure and on 408, 429 and 5xx responses, up to the client maxRetries.

Also available in

API
GET /dns-connections
CLI
openemail dns-connections list

dnsConnections.get()

Read a DNS connection and what disconnecting it would leave behind

Scopesdomains:read
Signature
get(id: string, options?: RequestScope): Promise<DnsConnectionDetailResource>

Returns one connection with what disconnecting it would do: the domains it serves, the records OpenEmail wrote through it, busy for the domains a sync is running on right now, which hold a disconnect back until it ends, and keepsMail for the verified domains that stop receiving mail once their records come down.

Parameters

idstringRequired

A connection id from list.

options.signalAbortSignal

Cancels the request.

options.apiKeystring

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

Returns

DnsConnectionDetailResource.

Example

const connection = await openemail.dnsConnections.get('dnsl_3f9a1c2e7b4d4e6f8a0b2c3d') if (connection.keepsMail.length) console.log('These stop receiving mail:', connection.keepsMail)

Notes

  • A connection id that is not in this workspace is a 404 resource_not_found.

  • A GET is retried automatically on network failure and on 408, 429 and 5xx responses, up to the client maxRetries.

Also available in

API
GET /dns-connections/{id}
CLI
openemail dns-connections get

dnsConnections.delete()

Disconnect a DNS provider account

Scopesdomains:write
Signature
delete(id: string, options?: RequestScope): Promise<DeletedDnsConnectionResource>

Disconnects the account as Disconnect does in the app: the records OpenEmail wrote through it come down, every domain it serves is detached, and the connection is revoked at the provider. A verified domain whose records come down stops receiving mail, so read get first. detached counts what came down and lists the records still published, to delete by hand.

A connection that is already disconnected is removed from the list instead, once no domain and no record is left on it, and removed says so.

Parameters

idstringRequired

A connection id from list.

options.signalAbortSignal

Cancels the request.

options.apiKeystring

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

Returns

DeletedDnsConnectionResource with removed, confirmed and detached.

Example

const result = await openemail.dnsConnections.delete('dnsl_3f9a1c2e7b4d4e6f8a0b2c3d') console.log(result.removed ? 'Removed from the list' : `${result.detached?.detached ?? 0} domains detached`)

Notes

  • A sync running on one of its domains is refused with 409 dns_busy, and nothing is revoked. A disconnected connection that still has domains or records on it is refused with 409 dns_connection_in_use.

  • A key or an access token limited to particular addresses or domains is refused with 422 capability_unsupported. An access token acting for a member also needs workspace:manage in their role, or it is refused with 403 insufficient_authority.

  • An OAuth access token needs a verification code for this call, and is refused with 403 step_up_required until the app has verified one in the last 60 minutes. isStepUpRequired on the error says so. An API key is never asked for a code.

  • Not retried by the SDK.
