from behavior is highly dependent on your account’s setup!

The sender email configuration depends on your account setup:

If you haven’t verified a domain: You can only use Contiguity’s email infrastructure. Simply provide your sender name (e.g. ‘Contiguity’).
If you have verified a domain: You can either:
- Use your verified domain (e.g. ‘Contiguity <custom@your-domain.com>’)
- Or still use Contiguity’s email address (e.g. ‘Contiguity <random-hash@contiguity.email>’)

Deprecated: body

{
    "body": {,
        "html": "<p>Hello, world!</p>",
        "text": "Hello, world!"
    }
}

Instead, provide top-level html / text properties.

{
    ...,
    "html": "<p>Hello, world!</p>",
    "text": "Hello, world!"
}
