openemail.settings

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

Methods

Mailbox preferences such as timezone and language, the workspace's privacy, and the signature, tracking and privacy of each address or domain.

`settings.get()`

Read settings

settings:read

Signature

def get(    *,    address: str | None = None,    api_key: str | None = None,    timeout: float | None = None,) -> SettingsResource

Returns every setting with defaults filled in, so a field that was never saved still has a value and reading one never depends on which release introduced it. SettingsResource is a plain dict[str, Any] with every setting under its own key and the scope's own overrides.

Without address= it is your account and the workspace. The account fields (language, time zone and formats, theme, sounds, notifications and the rest) are the caller's own: for an API key the workspace owner's, for a connected app the person who connected it. The privacy fields and workspaceName are the workspace's. signature, openEmailSignature, trackOpens and trackClicks belong to each address and read as the built-in defaults here: no signature, the OpenEmail footer on, and open and link tracking off.

With address=, the fields as they apply to that scope: one address, *@domain for a catch-all or @domain for a whole domain. For an address the four per-address fields resolve the way a send from it does: the address's own values, then its domain's catch-all when the catch-all caught that address rather than it being one you created, then the built-in defaults, and a plus address with no settings of its own reads its base address's. externalImages, trustedSenders and the blocklist resolve from the workspace, then the domain, then the catch-all, then the base of a plus address, then the address itself, and the last of them that sets a field wins. @domain reads the workspace's privacy with the domain's own on top. Every other field reads the same whatever the scope.

overrides holds what the scope sets itself, the fields update can send None for at the same scope, and everything not in it is inherited. address on the result is the scope you named, lowercased, or None.

Parameters

addressstr: The scope to read: one address, *@domain for the catch-all of a domain, or @domain for a whole domain. A key narrowed to particular addresses or domains may name only an address it holds, and a catch-all or a domain only when it holds that domain whole, or the call is a 422 capability_unsupported.
api_keystr: Overrides the client's API key for this call only.
timeoutfloat: Seconds this call may take, the response included, before it raises OpenEmailNetworkError with is_timeout. It overrides the client's timeout for this call, and 0 turns the limit off.

Returns

SettingsResource, a dict with 'object': 'settings', every setting and the scope's own overrides.

Example

from openemail import openemail workspace = openemail.settings.get() print(workspace.get('timezone'), workspace.get('language')) sales = openemail.settings.get(address='[email protected]') print(sales.get('signature'), sales.get('trackOpens'), sales.get('trackClicks'))

Notes

A stored signature longer than 150,000 characters reads back as an empty string instead of failing the request.
defaultEmailAlias only preselects the From address in the app composer. The API never uses it to choose a sender.

`settings.update()`

Change settings

settings:write

Signature

def update(    patch: SettingsPatch,    *,    address: str | None = None,    api_key: str | None = None,    timeout: float | None = None,) -> SettingsResource

A partial update: fields you send are validated and saved, fields you leave out keep their values, a list replaces the old one, and the response is the full settings dict read back after the write, in the same shape get returns for the same scope.

Without address= it changes your account and the workspace. The account fields (language, time zone and formats, theme, sounds, notifications and the rest) are saved on the caller's account: for an API key the workspace owner's, for a connected app the person who connected it. workspaceName renames the workspace, and is a 422 invalid_parameter on a personal space, which has no name of its own. The privacy fields (externalImages, trustedSenders, blockedSenders, blockedDomains, blockedWords, useDefaultBlockedWords, semanticSearch, replySuggestions, knowledgeLearning) and the marketing footer fields (marketingSenderName, marketingPostalAddress) are saved on the workspace, and None removes the workspace's own value so the default applies again. A key narrowed to particular addresses or domains may change none of those workspace fields or the name, and gets a 422 capability_unsupported. signature, openEmailSignature, trackOpens and trackClicks are refused there with a 422 address_required naming the field, because they are set on each address, and nothing is written. 'semanticSearch': False turns search by meaning off for the workspace: its mail stops going to the embedding model, what was stored is deleted at once, and threads.list with semantic=True runs a text search until it is turned back on. 'replySuggestions': False turns suggested replies off for the workspace: no thread goes to a model for them any more, what was stored is deleted at once, and threads.reply_suggestions answers none until it is turned back on. 'knowledgeLearning': False stops the knowledge base learning for the workspace: no sent reply is read for facts to suggest, no question is noted from incoming mail, and no pair of items is checked for a conflict, while what was already suggested stays for review. Keys the settings schema does not know are dropped silently rather than refused, and a known key with the wrong type, or None for a field that cannot be cleared, is a 422 invalid_parameter naming it.

With address=, the patch gives that scope a choice of its own. One address or a catch-all (*@domain) takes signature, openEmailSignature, trackOpens, trackClicks, externalImages, trustedSenders, blockedSenders, blockedDomains, blockedWords and useDefaultBlockedWords, and a whole domain (@domain) the last six only. None removes the scope's own value, so it inherits again from the scope above it, and overrides on the result lists what the scope still sets itself. Any other field is a 422 not_per_address naming it, semanticSearch, replySuggestions, knowledgeLearning and the marketing footer fields included, since they belong to the whole workspace. The scope has to be an address in this workspace, a catch-all on a verified domain here with its catch-all on, or a domain in this workspace, or the call is a 422 invalid_parameter on address. A catch-all's values apply to the addresses its domain catches, and a new address created on that domain starts with a copy of them and changes on its own from then on.

signature is HTML added to mail sent from the address, and is sanitised on write, so the value you get back is what will actually be sent. More than 150,000 characters is a 422 signature_too_long, checked before sanitising and again after it. Mail sent through this API carries it only when the send sets 'signature': True, and template sends and encrypted sends never do.

Parameters

patch['signature']str | None: HTML of the default signature of the address named by address=, the one new mail from it carries, at most 150,000 characters, sanitised on write. An address keeps a list of signatures, which signatures.list returns, and this field is the one that is the default for new mail. Writing it rewrites that signature, or adds one called Signature and makes it the default when the address has none. An empty string or None leaves new mail from the address with no signature, and replies too when they used the same one, and deletes nothing. Only with an address or a catch-all.
patch['openEmailSignature']bool | None: Adds the OpenEmail footer to mail from the address while its signature is empty. On by default. None removes the address's own value. Only with an address or a catch-all.
patch['trackOpens']bool | None: Open tracking on mail from the address, for sends whose tracking does not set opens. Off by default. None removes the address's own value. Only with an address or a catch-all.
patch['trackClicks']bool | None: Link tracking on mail from the address, for sends whose tracking does not set clicks. Off by default. None removes the address's own value. Only with an address or a catch-all.
patch['externalImages']bool | None: Loads pictures in mail automatically. Off means senders cannot tell you read it. On by default. The workspace's choice without address=, and that scope's own with it. None removes the scope's own value.
patch['trustedSenders']list[str] | None: Senders whose pictures always load while externalImages is off. Replaces the whole list. The workspace's list without address=, and that scope's own with it. None removes the scope's own list.
patch['blockedSenders']list[str] | None: Senders whose mail is refused on arrival, plus-tags included. Mail already delivered stays. Replaces the whole list. The workspace's list without address=, and that scope's own with it. None removes the scope's own list.
patch['blockedDomains']list[str] | None: Domains whose mail is refused on arrival, subdomains included. Replaces the whole list. The workspace's list without address=, and that scope's own with it. None removes the scope's own list.
patch['blockedWords']list[str] | None: Words that open matching mail behind a warning. Nothing is deleted. Replaces the whole list. The workspace's list without address=, and that scope's own with it. None removes the scope's own list.
patch['useDefaultBlockedWords']bool | None: Adds the built-in list of English profanities and slurs to blockedWords. Off by default. The workspace's choice without address=, and that scope's own with it. None removes the scope's own value.
patch['semanticSearch']bool | None: Search by meaning for the whole workspace. On by default. False stops its mail going to the embedding model, deletes what was stored and makes semantic=True run a text search, and None turns it back on. Not with address=.
patch['replySuggestions']bool | None: Suggested replies for the whole workspace. On by default. False stops threads going to a model for them and deletes the suggestions that were stored, and None turns them back on. Not with address=.
patch['knowledgeLearning']bool | None: Knowledge base learning for the whole workspace: notes suggested from sent replies, questions noted from incoming mail and conflict checks. On by default, and None turns it back on. Not with address=.
patch['marketingSenderName']str | None: Who the footer of broadcasts and automation emails names as the sender, one line of at most 120 characters. Empty, the default, uses the workspace name, and None empties it. Not with address=.
patch['marketingPostalAddress']str | None: The postal address that footer shows, at most 500 characters on one line or several, which many countries require of marketing email. Empty, the default, shows none, and None empties it. Not with address=.
patch['workspaceName']str: Renames this workspace, 1 to 64 characters once trimmed. A 422 invalid_parameter on a personal space. Not with address=.
patch['language']str: Interface language, a locale tag such as en or de, saved as given without checking it. Saved on the account.
patch['timezone']str: IANA zone name such as Europe/Berlin, saved as given without checking it. Saved on the account.

A key narrowed to particular addresses or domains may name only an address it holds, and a catch-all or a domain only when it holds that domain whole, or the call is a 422 capability_unsupported.
api_keystr: Overrides the client's API key for this call only.
timeoutfloat: Seconds this call may take, the response included, before it raises OpenEmailNetworkError with is_timeout. It overrides the client's timeout for this call, and 0 turns the limit off.

Returns

SettingsResource, the full saved settings for the scope you named, in the same shape as get with the same address=.

Example

from openemail import openemail openemail.settings.update({'timezone': 'Europe/London'}) saved = openemail.settings.update(    {        'signature': '<p>Ada Lovelace<br>Analytical Engines Ltd</p>',        'trackClicks': False,    },    address='[email protected]',) print(saved.get('address'), saved.get('signature'), saved.get('trackClicks'))

Notes

The SDK retries this call after a network failure or a retryable status, which is safe because the same patch saves the same values.
An empty dict is accepted, changes nothing and returns the current settings.
A misspelt zone or language code is saved rather than refused, so check it before sending, for example with zoneinfo.ZoneInfo and resolve_language.
