Updating a User's Email Address

Once a user has been added to Iterable, you can update their email address by calling the POST /api/users/updateEmail API.

# Instructions

1. Navigate to the Iterable API Explorer and input your API key in the top-left corner.

   NOTE

   To learn more about API keys, read API Keys.

2. Navigate to the POST /api/users/updateEmail API call.

3. Specify a request body. For example:

   {
       "currentEmail": "oldEmail@example.com",
       "newEmail": "newEmail@example.com"
   }
   

4. Click Submit API Request.

5. Watch out for two common errors:

   • When currentEmail does not exist:

     {
         "msg": "Cannot change user Some(oldEmail@iterable.com) to newEmail@iterable.com. User does not exist",
         "code": "BadParams",
         "params": null
     }
     

   • When newEmail already exists:

     {
       "msg": "Cannot change user Some(oldEmail@iterable.com) to newEmail@iterable.com. New email already exists",
       "code": "EmailAlreadyExists",
       "params": null
     }
