-F cc='[email protected]' \
-F bcc='[email protected]' \

Send Personalized Emails Using Templates
Send personalized emails by adding placeholder values within the to parameter of the request. If you want to send the message based on a previously defined template, pass the template identifier value in the templateId parameter. To manage Templates login to the Infobip web interface
Send an Email With Custom MessageID
Send emails with custom messageId by including your unique messageId within the to parameter of the request.
Send Emails with Dynamic Content
To send email with dynamic content, use the Template language within your HTML content and define the placeholder values in the to parameter of the request. Add any of the available Template language constructs in the HTML content to solve substitutions, conditional statements, or iterations.
To use the new Template language constructs in an API request, provide the parameter templateLanguageVersion=2.
If you prefer to use the old handlebar {{helpers}} in your HTML, do not specify the TemplateLanguageVersion parameter in the API request. The following table shows examples for the handlebar {{helpers}}.
See the Send Fully Featured Email (opens in a new tab) reference documentation.

Email Delivery Reports
The Email deliver reports (opens in a new tab) method allows you to get one-time delivery reports for sent emails.
The delivery report is returned only once. Additional delivery report requests return an empty collection.
Get Reports by Message ID
GET /email/1/reports?messageId=
Get the Initial Two Delivery Reports
GET /email/1/reports?limit=2 HTTP/1.1
Get Reports by Bulk ID
GET /email/1/reports?bulkId=lrzkq6gatdkxouhrkgni HTTP/1.1
Email Messages Logs
The Get Email logs (opens in a new tab) method allows you to get logs for email messages. None of the query parameters is mandatory for this request. Any combination of parameters can be used to filter results. Some examples are shown below.
Email logs are available for the last 48 hours!
Response format
If successful, the response header HTTP status code is 200 OK and the message logs are returned.
If you try to send a message without authorization, you get a response with HTTP status code 401 Unauthorized.
If you use this method too many times in a short period of time, you receive the 429 Too Many Requests status code. This prevents misusing logs in cases where reports would be more appropriate.
Get Logs With Multiple MessageId Filters
The fields from, to, and limit accept a single parameter, which is used to filter response message logs.
Get Logs With Date Range and General Status Filters
The fields sentSince and generalStatus accept a single parameter, which is used to filter response message logs.
Get Logs Bulk ID
To use this method, use the bulkId returned in the response for an email/emails you wish to filter message logs for.
Tracking Notifications
If trackingUrl is passed, you are notified whenever the email is opened or an URL in the email is clicked by the recipient. The structure of the data passed in the open and click notifications is shown below.
