{
  "error": {
    "code": "account_held",
    "message": "BlueBot paused sending on this account.",
    "hint": "BlueBot paused this account's sending. Write to support@usebluebot.com.",

  }
}

Branch on code, which never changes. message and hint are written for people and may be reworded. Quote request_id when you write to support.

  • Errors: the envelope and every code
  • Idempotency: retrying without sending twice
  • Limits: every cap and what happens when you reach it
