Idempotency key

Email glossary

A unique value you send with a request so that retrying it doesn't repeat the action.

How this affects you

Send an Idempotency-Key header with POST /emails and retrying after a timeout becomes safe: the same key with the same body within 24 hours returns the first email's ID and sends nothing. The same key with a different body returns 409 idempotency_conflict. Use something tied to the event, such as order-1042-receipt.
