Response

Success.

• dataobject
  • objectstringtransport_rule
  • idstring

    The rule's ID, a ULID. Rule IDs are uppercase, such as 01M2RV5CEM4MT97RQ00ANRRFCP; compare them exactly.

  • namestring

    The rule's name.

  • descriptionstring

    Your note about the rule. Null when there is none.

  • directionstringinbound | outbound | both

    Which mail the rule checks: inbound, outbound or both (the default).

  • enabledboolean

    A disabled rule keeps its priority and is not evaluated.

  • priorityinteger

    The order rules run in: lower runs first. The default is 100. PUT /transport-rules/reorder renumbers rules in steps of 10, so a rule can be put between two others.

  • matchobject

    How a message is matched: logic and its conditions.

    • logicstringall | any

      all means every condition must match (the default); any means one is enough.

    • conditionsarray<object>

      The conditions, each with field, operator and value.

      • fieldstringsender | recipient | subject | header | size | has_attachment

        What is checked. size is the message size in bytes; has_attachment is true or false.

      • operatorstringequals | contains | starts_with | ends_with | regex | greater_than | less_than

        How value is compared with field.

      • valuestring

        What to compare with. Always a string, even for numbers: a size limit reads back as "1048576". Parse it yourself for greater_than and less_than.

  • actionsarray<object>

    What happens to a matched message, in order.

    • typestringadd_header | modify_subject | redirect | bcc | reject | add_disclaimer | quarantine

      What is done to a message that matches.

    • paramsobject

      The action's settings, keyed by name. Always an object, {} when there are none.

  • created_atstring

    In ISO 8601 UTC.

  • updated_atstring

    In ISO 8601 UTC.

Returned inside the standard envelope.
