Read the email you sent your customers
See every email your organization sent its customers, whether it left, and read each one as the customer got it.
In the dashboard
Sent email lists every email your organization sent its customers, newest first: invoices and receipts, account and password emails, service notices, and your store's order and marketing emails. Open one to read it as the customer got it, in your brand's email layout. Use it to answer "did you email me?" or to check what a template said on the day it went out.
Before you begin
Section titled Before you beginYou need the support_tier3 role or above (billing, admin or owner), because each email holds a customer's details. For other roles the page is not in the menu, and its address takes them to the overview.
Read the list
Section titled Read the list- Go to Organizations, open your organization, choose Customers, then Sent email.
- Read the table. Each row shows who it went To, with the email's name under the address, its Subject, its Status and When it was sent.
- To narrow the list, search the recipient's address or the subject, or choose Sent or Failed in place of Any status. The search, the status and the page stay in the address, so a reload or a shared link shows the same list.
- Use the pages at the bottom to go back to older email. The table shows 50 to a page.
A Failed email did not leave: the mail server refused it, the address cannot take mail, or its template did not render. A test you sent yourself from a template's editor shows as Test: followed by the email's name.
Read one email
Section titled Read one email- Select a row. The email opens in a panel beside the list, and its number goes in the address, so the browser's back button closes it.
- Read the facts at the top: Status, To, Customer (select Open the customer to go to their page), Template, Wording (
Your versionwhen you edited the template,Coritan's defaultotherwise) and when it was Sent. - Read the email under As sent, in your brand's layout. Choose Plain text for the version a mail app without HTML shows, and Copy the text to copy it.
- Press Escape or select the close button to go back to the list.
The panel shows the email in a frame that runs no scripts.
What a kept email leaves out
Section titled What a kept email leaves outCoritan keeps a copy of each email so you can read it later, but not the parts that would let someone else use it:
- A password link or an address confirmation link keeps its address without its token, so it opens the right page but cannot sign anyone in.
- A gift card's code keeps only its last four characters.
The panel says so above the email when it left one of these out. The customer got the working version.
Result
Section titled ResultYou can see what each customer was sent, when, and whether it left, and read it as they did.
Troubleshooting
Section titled Troubleshooting- No copy of this email
- The email went out before Coritan kept a copy of each one, or its template did not render. The row still says when it was sent and to whom.
- Sent email is not in your menu
- It needs Tier 3 support or above. Ask an owner or admin to change your role in Members.
- An email you expected is not listed
- A filter may be leaving it out. Choose Reset filters. Replies your team writes to a ticket from the staff console are part of the ticket, not this list.

With the API
Section titled With the APIBoth routes take an access token of a member with Tier 3 support or above, sent as Authorization: Bearer $CORITAN_TOKEN.
curl "https://api.coritan.com/api/v1/orgs/acme/email-log?status=failed&q=example.com" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $CORITAN_TOKEN"
| Parameter | What it matches |
|---|---|
q |
Up to 200 characters of the recipient's address or the subject. |
status |
sent or failed. Any other word answers 422. |
template |
One template, such as invoice_created. |
limit and offset |
limit takes 1–200 and defaults to 50; offset skips that many of the newest matching emails. |
The answer is {items, total, limit, offset}, newest first, and total counts every matching email. Each item has id, recipient_email, subject, template_slug, status, error, org_customer_id (the customer, or null), source (org for your version of the template, default for Coritan's), has_body (whether a copy was kept), sent_at and created_at.
GET /api/v1/orgs/{org_slug}/email-log/{log_id} answers one email with the same fields and:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
html_body |
The email in your brand's layout, as it left. null when no copy was kept. |
text_body |
Its plain text. null when no copy was kept. |
withheld |
What the copy leaves out: reset_url or verification_url (a link kept without its token) and code (a gift card's code kept as its last four characters). |
Another organization's email answers 404.
