Use it while integrating, before anything is published: a ready trigger with `counts.automations: 0` accepts fires but starts no runs until an attached automation is published. **Response-shape note** — responds with the same legacy fire envelope as the `POST` (`{ success, status, code, message, receivedAt, details }`). ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi-public-v1.yaml get /v1/automations/triggers/{triggerEventId}/fire openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Brew Public API v1 version: 1.0.0 description: >- Generated from the Brew app Zod contracts (`lib//contracts.ts`). This file is the source of truth for the public API documentation. ## Resource paths Identity lives in the URL path (`/v1/analytics/sends/{sendId}`) — never in a query param or request body. Collections are plural top-level segments (`/v1/emails`); query params exist only for collection pagination + simple filters. Relationships are sub-resources (`/v1/emails/{emailId}/sends`), and non-CRUD operations are explicit action sub-paths (`/v1/automations/{automationId}/test`). ## Response envelopes - Lists: `{ data: Row[], pagination: { limit, cursor: string | null, hasMore } }` — loop `while (cursor !== null)`. - Get-one and writes: the bare resource (creates return `201`; async sends `202`). - Deletes: `{ , deleted: boolean }` — idempotent (already-gone ids resolve with `deleted: false`). - Errors: `{ error: { code, type, message, param?, suggestion, docs } }` — branch on the stable `code`. - ONE exception: `POST /v1/automations/triggers/{triggerEventId}/fire` responds with the legacy fire envelope `{ success, status, code, message, receivedAt, details }` (shared with internal webhook infrastructure). ## Brand scoping A credential is scoped either to ONE BRAND or to the whole ORGANIZATION. A brand-scoped credential resolves its brand automatically — send nothing. An organization-scoped credential must name the brand per request with the `X-Brand-Id` header; omitting it returns `400 BRAND_ID_REQUIRED`, because there is deliberately no default brand. Discover ids with `GET /v1/brands`. **No public endpoint accepts a `brandId` field** in its request body or query string — sending one returns `400 INVALID_REQUEST`. `X-Brand-Id` is a header, and the only way to name a brand. Resources that exist in a different brand surface as `404` (never `403`), so the API does not leak cross-brand existence; the same is true of an `X-Brand-Id` naming a brand outside your organization. `GET /v1/templates` is organization-wide. `/v1/brands` manages brands themselves and is organization-level, so it takes no `X-Brand-Id`. ## Idempotency Send an `Idempotency-Key` header (≤ 100 chars) on any POST your code might retry. Same key + same body within 24h returns the original response; same key + different body returns `409 IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT`. contact: name: Brew Support url: https://docs.brew.new email: support@brew.new servers: - url: https://brew.new/api description: Production - url: http://localhost:3000/api description: Local development security: - bearerAuth: [] - apiKeyAuth: [] tags: - name: Emails description: >- Email designs and sending. Generate a design with the Brew email agent, edit, version, restore — then send it: `POST /v1/sends` delivers a design to a target (a saved audience, an inline list, or a single address) via a verified domain, and `POST /v1/sends` with `test: true` fires a one-off test. Sending is not campaign-specific. Send reads (list, status, per-send event feeds) live under Analytics (`/v1/analytics/sends`). - name: Brands description: >- Brand lifecycle for ORGANIZATION-scoped credentials: list the brands a credential can reach, read one, and create a new one (extraction runs asynchronously — poll `GET /v1/brands/{brandId}` until `status: completed`).
