Rule.io SDK / client/src / SetEmailAutomationPayload

Interface: SetEmailAutomationPayload

Defined in: client/src/resources/automations/automations.types.ts:164

Payload for AutomationsClient.setEmailAutomation (full replacement).

All four fields are required — the API replaces the entire automation body. Omitted fields revert to API defaults, not the previous values.

The message type is fixed to 'email' by the method. If the automation does not yet exist it is created as an email automation.

Example

await client.automations.setEmailAutomation(automationId, {
  name: 'Welcome email',
  active: true,
  trigger: { type: 'TAG', id: tagId },
  sendoutType: 'transactional',
});
