Retrieve a sent email

Retrieve one email by its id, typically after finding it in the listing, to investigate what happened to it: recipient, subject, status, attempts, the error message when it failed, and the document it was sent for.

Scoped to the authenticated company.
IMPORTANT — status describes the hand-off to the OUTGOING SMTP SERVER, not real delivery: sent means the outgoing mail server accepted the message, not that the recipient received it.

Headers

Factuarea-Version?string

Pin the API version (YYYY-MM-DD, Stripe-style date versioning) for this request; omit to use the key's pinned version, or the latest if none. Unsupported version → 400 unsupported_api_version; malformed → 400 parameter_invalid_format. The effective version is echoed in the Factuarea-Version response header. See the Versioning guide.

Formatdate

X-Active-Profile?string

Operate on behalf of a child company (gestoría master key): pass its public id (UUID v7) and the request runs against that child's data without changing the key's scope, tier or environment (omit to use the key's own company). Invalid UUID → 400 parameter_invalid_uuid; unknown or non-owned id → 404 profile_not_found. See the Acting on behalf guide.
