Employee Email

The Employee Email API is secured by HTTPS and basic authentication. For performing requests on this API, you need to generate an API key from the Employee Email instance.

Add the API key to the Authorization header of every request as follows:

  1. Combine Auth ID and Access Key with a colon (:).
  2. Encode the resulting string using Base64.
  3. Prepend the encoded string with the authorization method and a space character.
    For example, Basic {{insert-your-encoded-string}}
