Idempotency is supported for safely retrying requests without accidentally performing the same operation twice. On certain API endpoints, you can use the optional metaId (eg. 'my_product_123') key. Then, if a connection error occurs, you can safely repeat the request without risk of performing the trigger twice.

Code examples

Copy
const axios = require('axios');

axios({
  method: "post",
  url: "https://live.waypointapi.com/v1/email_messages",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  auth: {
    username: API_KEY_USERNAME,
    password: API_KEY_PASSWORD
  },
  data: {
    "templateId": "wptemplate_ABc123XYZ",
    "metaId": "my_product_123",
    "to": "jordan@usewaypoint.com",

      }

.then(function (response) {
  console.log(response);
})
.catch(function (error) {
  console.log(error);
})
