# Send Record Email

> Sends one template version from this record, or from one of its packets
with `packetId`, the way Send email does in the app. The email is stored
on the record at once and its delivery is queued; the response returns
before it is sent. Follow it on Get Record Email Conversation: the
message's `delivery.status` goes from `queued` to `sent`, or to `failed`
with a `reason`. Retry a failed send with Retry Record Email Delivery.

Send an `Idempotency-Key` header to retry safely: the same key with the
same request returns the first send and sends nothing new.

Replies go to the template's Reply-To, or to the sending user when it has
none.

Answers `404` while email is not turned on for the company.

**Required permission:** `email.send` and `<resource>.view` for the path's
`{entityType}` (`event.view`, `exposure.view`, `quote.view` or
`submission.view`).

        Optional key that makes a retry of this operation safe. Send a new
        value, 1 to 255 printable ASCII characters, for each intended operation,
        and send the same value with the same request when you retry it. A
        committed attempt reserves the key for 30 days from admission; retries
        do not extend that window. After 30 days the same key runs as a new
        request, even if its body differs. Within that window, a retry after the
        first request completed returns the original resource or run identity
        with the same status and response shape, without starting another
        operation. A failure before the intent commits stores nothing; after an
        external effect fails, a retry may resume that same committed intent.
        Keys belong to the credential, so another API key, even one the same
        user created, cannot replay them. Within 30 days, reusing a key with a
        different request returns `422 IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED`; an invalid key
        returns `400 INVALID_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY`. The key is compared exactly, so
        case and surrounding spaces count.

    ApiKeyAuth:

      in: header
      name: Authorization
      description: >-
        API key authentication. Send your raw API key as the `Authorization`
        header value with NO scheme prefix — `Authorization: YOUR-API-KEY`. Do
        NOT prefix it with `Bearer ` or `ApiKey `, and do not use an `X-API-Key`
        header; those are not accepted.
    BearerAuth:
      type: http
      scheme: bearer
      bearerFormat: JWT
      description: >-
        User-principal OAuth 2.0 Bearer authentication. Send a user-scoped Auth0
        access token (audience = the app API audience) as `Authorization: Bearer
        <jwt>`. The request resolves to the user's identity and is authorized by
        their Role on the `{companyId}` in the path — the same role-based
        permissions the web app enforces. This is the path the MCP connector
        uses to act on a user's behalf; endpoints that accept it list both
        `BearerAuth` and `ApiKeyAuth`.
