SDK Reference

const lumail = new Lumail({
  apiKey: "lm_...",
  baseUrl: "https://lumail.io/api", // optional, defaults to this
});

Subscribers

await lumail.subscribers.addTags("[email protected]", ["premium"]);
await lumail.subscribers.removeTags("[email protected]", ["old-tag"]);

// Events (cursor-based pagination)
const { events, nextCursor } = await lumail.subscribers.listEvents("[email protected]", {
  take: 20,
  order: "desc",
  eventTypes: ["EMAIL_OPENED", "EMAIL_CLICKED"],
});

Campaigns

// List with pagination
const { campaigns, total, pageCount } = await lumail.campaigns.list({
  status: "DRAFT",
  page: 1,
  limit: 20,
  query: "welcome",
});

  scheduledAt: "2025-12-25T10:00:00Z",
  timezone: "UTC",
});

Emails (Transactional)

const { qstashMessageId } = await lumail.emails.send({
  to: "[email protected]",
  from: "[email protected]",
  subject: "Order Confirmation",
  content: "Your order is confirmed.",
  contentType: "MARKDOWN", // "MARKDOWN" | "HTML" | "TIPTAP"
  tracking: { links: true, open: true },
});

// Verify email
const { isValid } = await lumail.emails.verify({ email: "[email protected]" });

const { tag } = await lumail.tags.create({ name: "premium" });
const { tag } = await lumail.tags.get("premium"); // by name or ID
await lumail.tags.update("premium", { name: "gold" });

Events

await lumail.events.create({
  eventType: "SUBSCRIBER_PAYMENT",
  subscriber: "[email protected]",
  data: { amount: 99, plan: "pro" },
});

Tools (V2 API)

// List all tools
const { tools, grouped } = await lumail.tools.list();

// Get tool schema
const { tool } = await lumail.tools.get("list_subscribers");

// Run a tool with typed response
const result = await lumail.tools.run\x3C{ subscribers: unknown[] }>(
  "list_subscribers",
  { limit: 10 },
);

Error Handling

The SDK throws typed errors - catch specific error types:

import {
  Lumail,
  LumailAuthenticationError,
  LumailNotFoundError,
  LumailRateLimitError,
  LumailValidationError,
  LumailPaymentRequiredError,
} from "@/lib/lumail-sdk";

try {
  await lumail.subscribers.get("[email protected]");
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof LumailNotFoundError) {
    // 404 - subscriber not found
  } else if (error instanceof LumailAuthenticationError) {
    // 401 - invalid API key
  } else if (error instanceof LumailRateLimitError) {
    // 429 - rate limited, error.retryAfter has delay in ms
  } else if (error instanceof LumailPaymentRequiredError) {
    // 402 - plan limit reached
  } else if (error instanceof LumailValidationError) {
    // 400 - invalid request
  }
}

Retry Behavior

• GET/PUT/DELETE requests retry up to 3 times on network errors and 429s
• POST/PATCH requests do NOT retry (prevents duplicate subscribers/emails)
• Retry delays: 1s, 2s, 4s (exponential backoff)
• Respects Retry-After header from rate limit responses
• Default timeout: 30s per request
