Distribution Lists

Add members to a distribution list

POST/distribution-lists/{id}/members

Adds up to 1000 users to the list and returns every member. Users must belong to your organisation or an accepted client or provider organisation, not be suspended or deleted and not be service accounts, else 422 exists naming the user_ids entry, and none is added. Existing members are skipped. Emits distribution_list.updated (members) when it changed; no email. DELETE on the member undoes it.

Path parameters

  • idintegerRequired#

    The distribution list's id. Distribution lists are keyed by integer ids, not UUIDs: a whole number from 1 to 2147483647.

Query parameters

  • dry_runboolean#

    Validate and run the call without committing it, returning what the real call would return with meta.dry_run set.

Headers

  • Idempotency-Keystring#

    Makes a retry safe. Send a new UUID for each new request and reuse it only to retry that request; the first response is replayed for 24 hours.

Request body

application/json, required · DistributionListMemberInput

  • user_idsstring (uuid)[]Required#

    The users to add, at most 1000 distinct ids. Each must be an active user of your organisation or of an accepted client organisation, and not a service account. Users already on the list are skipped.
