2. Send an Email

Make sure to pass the api_key you created in the previous step in the Authorization header. Also make sure to replace FROM_ADDRESS with the address of the BotMailRoom inbox you want to send the email from. And change the to_addresses to the email address you want to send the email to.
curl -X POST "https://api.botmailroom.com/api/v1/email/send" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer ${api_key}" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "from_address": FROM_ADDRESS,
       "subject": "Hello from Bot Mailroom",
       "plain_text": "Hello from Bot Mailroom. We are testing our email sending functionality.",
       "to_addresses": [
         {
           "address": "CHANGE_THIS@CHANGE_THIS.com",
           "name": null
         },
       ]
     }'
See the API Reference for more information on the request body.

​
Optional - Add an Attachment

Add an attachment to the attachment pool by sending a request to the add attachment to pool endpoint.
Make sure to pass the api_key you created in the previous step in the Authorization header. Also make sure to replace path/to/file with the path to the file you want to add to the attachment pool.
curl -X POST "https://api.botmailroom.com/api/v1/email/add-attachment-to-pool" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer ${api_key}" \
     -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
     -F "file=@path/to/file"
The response will contain the ID of the attachment, which you can then use in the send_email request. 
curl -X POST "https://api.botmailroom.com/api/v1/email/send" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer ${api_key}" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "from_address": FROM_ADDRESS,
       "subject": "Hello from Bot Mailroom",
       "plain_text": "Hello from Bot Mailroom. We are testing our email sending functionality.",
       "to_addresses": [
         {
           "address": "CHANGE_THIS@CHANGE_THIS.com",
           "name": null
         },
       ],
       "attachment_ids": [
