  version: 0.0.1
servers:

    description: Production
security: []

  - name: Journeys
    description: >-
      Build, version, publish, invoke, and cancel multi-step notification
      workflows, along with the templates scoped to them.
  - name: Broadcasts
    description: >-
      Create a one-off send to a list or audience, author its content, then send
      it immediately or schedule it for later.

    description: >-
      Store the contact information Courier delivers to for each user — email,
      phone number, push tokens, and any custom data you send to.
  - name: Tenants
    description: >-
      Manage tenants — the organizations, teams, or accounts your users belong
      to — along with their users and default preferences.
  - name: Audiences
    description: >-
      Define filter-based groups whose membership Courier recalculates as user
      profiles change.
  - name: Lists
    description: >-
      Manage static groups of users that you subscribe explicitly, and send to
      them by list id or list pattern.
  - name: Providers
    description: >-
      Configure the channel providers Courier delivers through, and browse the
      provider types it supports.
  - name: Preference Topics
    description: >-
      Manage the workspace catalog of subscription topics, the sections that
      group them, and publishing the preference page.
  - name: User Preferences
    description: >-
      Read and write a single user's notification preferences, per topic and per
      channel.
  - name: Messages
    description: >-
      Look up the messages Courier has accepted, inspect their delivery history
      and rendered output, and cancel, resend, or archive them.
  - name: Device Tokens
    description: >-
      Register and manage the APNS and FCM device tokens Courier delivers push
      notifications to.
  - name: Tenant Memberships
    description: >-
      Associate a user with one or more tenants, and read or remove those
      associations.
  - name: Tenant Templates
    description: >-
      Manage the templates and template versions scoped to a single tenant,
      including the ones authored in the embedded designer.
  - name: Automations
    description: >-
      Invoke a stored automation template or an ad hoc automation defined in the
      request.
  - name: Digests
    description: >-
      Inspect what has accumulated in a digest schedule and release a digest
      ahead of its next scheduled delivery.
  - name: Translations
    description: >-
      Store and retrieve the translation strings Courier uses to render
      localized template content.
  - name: Inbox
    description: Manage the messages in a user's in-app inbox.
  - name: Track Events
    description: >-

      to it.
  - name: Audit Events
    description: >-
      Read the audit trail of configuration and access changes in your
      workspace.
  - name: Authentication
    description: >-
      Issue scoped, short-lived JWTs so client-side SDKs — Inbox, Preferences,
      and the embedded designer — can call Courier as a single user. Server-side
      requests authenticate with your workspace API key instead.
