Key Notes

• HTML content must be base64-encoded (campaign[template][content], email[body], template[content])
• Safe encoding: When encoding user-provided HTML content, use heredocs (base64 <<'EOF') or write to a temporary file first to avoid shell injection vulnerabilities. Never use echo with unsanitized input.
• Transactional email send_at is UTC, format: Y-m-d H:i:s
• Campaign send_at uses the customer's configured timezone
• Transactional templates: Set email[template_uid] to use a template instead of email[body]. Use email[params][key] for {{ params.key }} placeholders
• Subscriber statuses: unconfirmed, confirmed, blacklisted, unsubscribed, unapproved, disabled, moved
• Pagination: Use ?page=N&per_page=N query params on list endpoints
• from_email for transactional emails must be on a verified domain
