# Pause a mail trigger

POST

/v1/mail-triggers/{triggerId}/pause

```sh
curl --request POST \
  --url https://example.com/v1/mail-triggers/2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0/pause \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'
```

A paused trigger doesn’t poll. A personal trigger’s pause is its owner’s or a project admin’s; a shared one’s needs `write` on the project.

## Authorizations

- **[bearerAuth](https://docs.kindgi.com/v0.3.1/reference/api.md#bearerauth)**

## Parameters

### Path Parameters

**triggerId**

required

string format: uuid

TriggerId — the trigger id (a UUID).

### Header Parameters

**Idempotency-Key**

string

\>= 1 characters

Caller-supplied idempotency key, scoped to the caller: the same key from someone else in the tenant is their own request (from 0.1.5). Retries with the same key return the original response byte-identical (per `docs/API-ROUTE-CONVENTIONS.md` §3.1). A retry sent while the first request still runs is answered `409 idempotency-key-in-flight` with `Retry-After`, on a runtime whose store holds keys (from 0.1.5); retry after it, and you get the first request’s answer. An answer that carries a secret (a new API key or public run token, a session token, a generated signing secret) isn’t kept: a retry gets `409 idempotency-key-replay-withheld`, with the first request’s status and when it succeeded (from 0.1.5). A request whose key store can’t be read before it runs is answered `503 idempotency-store-unavailable` with `Retry-After`: nothing ran, so retry with the same key (from 0.3.0).

## Responses

### 200

Paused mail trigger.

application/json

A mail trigger: each new mail in its mailbox’s folder starts a run of its agent or flow, with the mail as the run’s input, as its owner. In such a run, every call that changes something, or uses the run’s own mailbox, waits for a person’s yes unless the trigger lists it (`toolsAllowedUnattended`).

object

**triggerId**

required

string

**flowId**

Run a flow (with `flowVersion`).

string

\>= 1 characters

**flowVersion**

string

\>= 1 characters

**agentId**

Run an agent (instead of a flow): at `agentVersion`, else its live version.

string

\>= 1 characters

**agentVersion**

string

\>= 1 characters

**projectId**

required

The trigger’s project: its runs are this project’s.

string format: uuid

**owner**

required

Who its runs act as, with their connections. A service account owns a shared trigger, on the company’s mailbox: one named with `runAsServiceAccountId`, or the project’s own (`runAsProject`, `isProjectAccount`). A person owns a personal one: every trigger on a person’s mailbox, and one on the company’s mailbox registered without either. No edit moves it; only a take-over (`POST …/owner`) does.

object

**kind**

required

string

Allowed values: user service

**id**

required

string

**displayName**

The owner’s name at the time of the response: the person’s display name, or the service account’s name. Absent when it can’t be read (no directory, a removed account) and from a runtime before Kindgi 0.1.6: show the id then.

string

**isProjectAccount**

Set when the owner is the trigger’s project’s own service account (`runAsProject`): the trigger is shared, and runs as the project. Show it as “This project”. Absent otherwise.

boolean

**mailbox**

required

The mailbox a mail trigger reads: its app (`google`: Gmail; `microsoft`: Outlook) and whose it is (`company`: the company’s mailbox, through the company’s connection of that app; `person`: the trigger owner’s own, through their connection).

object

**app**

required

string

Allowed values: google microsoft

**as**

required

string

Allowed values: company person

**folder**

The Gmail label id, or the Outlook folder id or well-known name, it watches. Absent: the inbox.

string

\>= 1 characters <= 512 characters

**pollSeconds**

required

How often it looks for new mail, in seconds (default 60).

integer

\>= 30 <= 3600

**runsPerHour**

required

The most runs its mail starts in an hour (default 60). Past it, a mail’s fire is `refused` (`detail` starts `over-limit:`), and that mail doesn’t run later.

integer

\>= 1 <= 600

**label**

required

string | null

**status**

required

Lifecycle status. Only `active` triggers fire. Tombstoned rows are excluded from every read path.

string

Allowed values: active paused

**statusReason**

Why it isn’t polling as it should: `connection-missing` (the mailbox’s connection is gone or lapsed; polls go on, and work again once it’s back), `owner-refused` (its owner was removed or may no longer run the target; polls go on and read nothing until that changes or an admin takes it over), or why the runtime paused it.

string

**version**

The trigger’s newest version (`GET …/versions`): one more for each change to what it runs, when, as whom or with what. Absent until its first version.

integer

\>= 1

**account**

The mailbox’s account at its last poll: the connection’s account id and its label (the address). Absent before its first poll.

object

**id**

required

string

**label**

required

string

**lastPolledAt**

When it last polled the mailbox and got an answer.

string format: date-time

**toolsAllowedUnattended**

The tools whose calls in this trigger’s runs don’t wait for a person’s yes, though a run a mail started asks for one for every call that changes something or uses its mailbox. Absent: none. Each tool by its id, with no wildcard or pattern, and only tools this trigger’s flow or agent calls. It lifts only that wait: the tenant’s approval rules, the agent’s own rules, the permission check (as the trigger’s owner) and the tool’s own limits all still apply.
