Body Parameters

​
name
string
required
The name of the domain you want to create.
​
region
string
default:"us-east-1"
The region where emails will be sent from. Possible values: 'us-east-1' | 'eu-west-1' | 'sa-east-1' | 'ap-northeast-1'
​
tls
string
default:"opportunistic"
  • opportunistic: Opportunistic TLS means that it always attempts to make a secure connection to the receiving mail server. If it can’t establish a secure connection, it sends the message unencrypted.
  • enforced: Enforced TLS on the other hand, requires that the email communication must use TLS no matter what. If the receiving server does not support TLS, the email will not be sent.
​
capabilities
object
Configure the domain capabilities for sending and receiving emails. At least one capability must be enabled.
See all available status types in the Domains overview.
