Resubscribe a contact

POST /api/v1/contacts/{contactId}/resubscribe Resubscribes the contact — an explicit act, never a side effect of an import or an upsert. Idempotent as well. A contact in bounced state is refused with 400: a hard bounce is final and cannot be undone through the API.

Authorization

Role in the organization	This endpoint
`OWNER`	Allowed
`ADMIN`	Allowed
`MEMBER`	Refused — `403`

A key carries the role its creator holds in this organization — never a role on AgentsMail itself. See API keys.

Path parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`contactId`	string	Required. The contact to put back

Example

bash

curl -X POST -H "x-api-key: $AGENTMAIL_API_KEY" \
  "https://www.agentsmail.io/api/v1/contacts/$CONTACT_ID/resubscribe"

Response

200 OK — the call succeeded.
401 Unauthorized — missing or invalid key, or its owner left the organization.
403 Forbidden — the key's owner is a member of the organization, not an admin.
404 Not Found — no such resource, or it belongs to another organization. The API never confirms that an id exists to a caller who has no right to it.
429 Too Many Requests — over 120 requests in a minute for this key.
