info:
  title: Emailx API
  version: 1.0.0-beta
  description: >-
    Customer and agency integrations for Emailx. Beta access is operator-issued.
    The v1 beta supports bounded People CSV/XLSX imports, saved email-template
    settings, selected email generation with explicit AI-credit confirmation,
    exact-message approval, reviewed email activation for native scheduled
    sending, and explicitly confirmed inbox replies bound to saved context when
    host capabilities permit. Inbox context is bounded and may be incomplete or
    stale; no provider refresh occurs. Manual LinkedIn imports, reviewed
    activation and reviewed resume of paused campaigns are separate gated
    workflows. Reply drafts, knowledge, team, infrastructure quotes with hosted
    checkout and agency administration are covered by separate scopes. Signed
    webhooks report durable operation outcomes. It does not support immediate
    batches or direct card charges.
