Returns the mailbox's sent and received email statistics over a time window: a period-wide summary plus a bucketed series. Sent-mail metrics have the same delivery, engagement, and latency breakdowns as the email stats endpoints. received counts mail that arrived at the mailbox.

Rows are bucketed by the time the event happened rather than the time the message was sent, so engagement that arrived during the period for a message sent earlier is counted here. Statistics start when the mailbox starts sending and receiving; the mailbox's all-time message_count and thread_count live on the mailbox resource itself.

from and to accept either calendar days (YYYY-MM-DD, day granularity only) or RFC 3339 instants (hour granularity only). Both bounds must use the same form. Window caps depend on granularity: 365 days at day, 30 days at hour. Set timezone to report in a local zone instead of UTC.

Parameter

mailbox_idstring

Mailbox identifier. Starts with mbx_.

Abfrageparameter

fromstring

Inclusive start of the window: a calendar day (YYYY-MM-DD, day granularity only) or an RFC 3339 instant rounded down to the hour (hour granularity only). Interpreted in timezone, or in UTC when timezone is omitted. A numeric UTC offset is rejected when timezone is set; use a calendar day or a Z (UTC) instant. Must use the same form as to. Defaults to 30 days before to at day granularity and 7 days before to at hour, when omitted.

tostring

Inclusive end of the window: a calendar day (YYYY-MM-DD, day granularity only) or an RFC 3339 instant rounded down to the hour (hour granularity only). Interpreted in timezone, or in UTC when timezone is omitted. A numeric UTC offset is rejected when timezone is set; use a calendar day or a Z (UTC) instant. Must use the same form as from. Defaults to today (day) or the current hour (hour) in that timezone when omitted. Window may not exceed 365 days at day or 30 days at hour granularity.

timezonestring

IANA timezone identifier used to group statistics, for example Asia/Kathmandu. The default is UTC. Day and hour boundaries, including the default window when from and to are omitted, follow this timezone. When this parameter is set, pass from and to as calendar days or Z instants instead of timestamps with explicit UTC offsets.

granularitystring

Granularity of the series: day (default) or hour. Echoed back as period.grain.

Possible values: day, hour

Antwort-Payload

period
object
erforderlich

The window and bucket grain the response covers, echoed from the request, plus the freshness boundary the data is current to.

Untergeordnete Attribute anzeigen
summary
object
erforderlich

Single-row aggregate of the mailbox's email activity across the full requested period. Counts use each field's message, recipient, or event identity across the whole window. Repeat opens, clicks, and unsubscribes from the same recipient contribute as separate events; unique engagement fields count distinct recipients. Adding per-bucket distinct counts can overstate the summary. Latency percentiles are computed across the whole period. Rates are null when their denominator is zero.

Untergeordnete Attribute anzeigen
data
array of object
erforderlich

One row per bucket in the period, in chronological order. Buckets with no activity are included with zero counts.

Untergeordnete Attribute anzeigen
data.bucket
string
erforderlich

The day (YYYY-MM-DD) or instant (RFC 3339, on the bucket boundary) this point covers, matching the period's grain.

data.sends_accepted
integer
erforderlich

Distinct email messages the mailbox sent that were accepted in this bucket, counted at the message level (one per accepted send regardless of how many recipients it addresses). Every other sent-mail metric in delivery and engagement is recipient-level or event-level.

data.delivery
object
erforderlich

Delivery counts and rates for the scope of the containing row (a time bucket, a breakdown dimension, or the whole period). Lifecycle counts identify distinct recipients that reached the named stage in scope; oob_bounces counts distinct failure events. Period summaries count each identity once per metric across the whole window, so adding time-bucket distinct counts can overstate the summary. Event time determines attribution; send time does not. A recipient delivered on Monday counts in Monday's row. A recipient who bounced and then succeeded on a retry can appear in both bounced and delivered. Very large counts are close estimates rather than exact tallies.

These counts are successive lifecycle stages, so a recipient can appear in more than one:

  • rejected: Happens before any send attempt, from suppression, policy, or a generation failure.
  • deferred: A temporary in-flight delay that is still being retried.
  • bounced: A delivery failure, with its own hard, soft, admin, block, and undetermined sub-types.
  • complained: Post-delivery spam feedback.

Each rate is a fraction in the range 0 to 1 and is null when its denominator is zero. accepted is reported only where it can be attributed (time buckets and the period summary). Breakdown rows omit it.

Untergeordnete Attribute anzeigen
data.delivery.accepted
integer

Distinct recipients accepted for delivery after suppression filtering. Reported on time buckets and the period summary. Breakdown rows leave it out, because their rollups do not have it.

data.delivery.processed
integer
erforderlich

Distinct recipients whose message was processed and handed off for delivery.

data.delivery.delivered
integer
erforderlich

Distinct recipients whose message the receiving mail server accepted.

data.delivery.bounced
integer
erforderlich

Distinct recipients whose delivery failed. This is approximately the sum of the five bounces.* sub-counts (hard, soft, admin, block, undetermined). The two totals are worked out independently, so they can differ slightly.

data.delivery.bounces
object
erforderlich

Breakdown of bounced by failure type, with each rate as a fraction of bounced. Counts are distinct bounced recipients of that type; the five types approximately partition bounced, so the five rates sum to roughly 1.0 when bounced is non-zero.

Untergeordnete Attribute anzeigen
data.delivery.bounces.hard
integer
erforderlich

Distinct recipients with a permanent delivery failure (invalid address or non-existent domain).

data.delivery.bounces.soft
integer
erforderlich

Distinct recipients with a transient delivery failure (mailbox full or server temporarily unavailable).

data.delivery.bounces.admin
integer
erforderlich

Distinct recipients refused by a policy at the receiving end, such as relaying denied or a blocklisted domain.

data.delivery.bounces.block
integer
erforderlich

Distinct recipients bounced because the receiving mail server blocked the sending IP for reputation reasons.

data.delivery.bounces.undetermined
integer
erforderlich

Distinct recipients bounced where the receiving server's response did not allow precise classification.

data.delivery.bounces.hard_rate
nullable number
erforderlich

Fraction of bounced recipients that hard bounced, computed as hard / bounced. Null when bounced is zero.

data.delivery.bounces.soft_rate
nullable number
erforderlich

Fraction of bounced recipients that soft bounced, computed as soft / bounced. Null when bounced is zero.

data.delivery.bounces.admin_rate
nullable number
erforderlich

Fraction of bounced recipients that admin bounced, computed as admin / bounced. Null when bounced is zero.

data.delivery.bounces.block_rate
nullable number
erforderlich

Fraction of bounced recipients that block bounced, computed as block / bounced. Null when bounced is zero.

data.delivery.bounces.undetermined_rate
nullable number
erforderlich

Fraction of bounced recipients with undetermined classification, computed as undetermined / bounced. Null when bounced is zero.

data.delivery.complained
integer
erforderlich

Distinct recipients who reported the message as spam via a feedback loop.

data.delivery.deferred
integer
erforderlich

Distinct recipients whose delivery the receiving server temporarily delayed and is still being retried.

data.delivery.rejected
integer
erforderlich

Distinct recipients rejected before any delivery attempt. Includes recipients on the workspace suppression list, transmissions that could not be completed, message-generation failures, and recipients refused by sending policy. The per-recipient rejection_reason field on GET /v1/email/messages/{message_id}/recipients surfaces the specific cause.

data.delivery.oob_bounces
integer
erforderlich

Out-of-band bounce events: distinct failure notifications received after the receiving server had initially confirmed delivery. The count represents deduplicated events rather than unique recipients.

data.delivery.effective_delivered
integer
erforderlich

Recipients who remain delivered after all bounce signals resolve, computed as delivered - oob_bounces. Use this as the base for engagement-rate denominators. Clamped to 0 when oob_bounces exceeds delivered.

data.delivery.all_bounces
integer
erforderlich

Total recipients in this scope who did not receive the message, computed as bounced + oob_bounces.

data.delivery.oob_rate
nullable number
erforderlich

Share of this scope's delivery attempts that resulted in an out-of-band bounce, computed as oob_bounces / (delivered + bounced). Null when there were no attempts.

data.delivery.delivery_rate
nullable number
erforderlich

Share of this scope's delivery attempts that remained delivered after all bounce signals, computed as effective_delivered / (delivered + bounced). Null when there were no attempts.

data.delivery.bounce_rate
nullable number
erforderlich

Share of this scope's delivery attempts that ultimately failed (inband or out-of-band), computed as all_bounces / (delivered + bounced). Because oob_bounces counts events rather than recipients, all_bounces can exceed the attempt count. The rate is clamped to 1. Null when there were no attempts.

data.delivery.complaint_rate
nullable number
erforderlich

Spam complaints in this scope relative to effectively delivered recipients, computed as complained / effective_delivered. Complaints are attributed by event time, so a scope can record more of them than it effectively delivered, pushing the rate above 1. Null when effective_delivered is zero.

data.engagement
object
erforderlich

Engagement counts and rates for the scope of the containing row (a time bucket, a breakdown dimension, or the whole period). opens, opens_non_prefetched and clicks count distinct engagement events (deduplicated occurrences). The unique_* fields count distinct recipients. unsubscribes counts distinct unsubscribe events. An event counts in the time bucket when it occurs, even if the message was sent in an earlier bucket. Counts are deduplicated with a scalable approximate counting method, so very large counts are close estimates rather than exact tallies. Each rate divides the counts in this scope and is null when its denominator is zero.

Untergeordnete Attribute anzeigen
data.latency
object
erforderlich

Latency percentiles (p50, p95, p99) in milliseconds for the bucket. On the summary endpoint these are computed across the whole period rather than per bucket. Three families are reported:

  • processing: Time from accepting the send to handing the message off for delivery. Measured per processed recipient; null when no recipient in the bucket has reached the processed stage.
  • delivery: Time from handoff to the receiving mail server accepting the message, dominated by recipient-side delivery behavior. Measured per delivered recipient; null when no deliveries occurred in the bucket.
  • total: End-to-end time from accepting the send to delivery, and the number most worth watching against your own delivery targets. Measured per delivered recipient; null when no deliveries occurred in the bucket.

Each family is reported independently. A family is omitted when no qualifying event contributed a latency measurement in the bucket. This also applies when the workspace has not recorded latency for that stage yet. The processing family can therefore be present while delivery and total are absent. A client must handle a missing family, and a null p50/p95/p99 within a present family, by rendering a placeholder rather than assuming a number.

data.received
integer
erforderlich

Distinct emails the mailbox received in this bucket.
