​
Request Body

​
message_id
string
required
Message ID to forward
​
stats_id
string
required
Email stats ID
​
to_emails
string
required
Comma-separated recipient email addresses.
​
forward_email_body
string
Custom HTML or plain-text body prepended above the auto-generated forwarded message chain. Mirrors the “compose” textbox in the Global Inbox UI when forwarding from the app. When omitted, only the auto-generated forwarded chain is sent.
​
forward_email_subject
string
Custom subject line for the forwarded email. Overrides the original campaign’s subject when provided. When omitted, the original campaign subject is used.
​
cc_emails
string
Optional comma-separated CC recipient email addresses.
​
bcc_emails
string
Optional comma-separated BCC recipient email addresses.
forward_email_body, forward_email_subject, cc_emails, and bcc_emails are optional. Existing integrations that send only message_id, stats_id, and to_emails are fully backwards-compatible — behaviour is unchanged when these fields are omitted.
