recoup-platform-email-helper

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

1 scripts

Send an email via the Recoup API the reliable way — a Node helper that serializes the body correctly and fails loudly instead of sending an empty email. Use whenever a task needs to email a report/summary/notification to the account owner or a recipient. ALWAYS use this script to send email; never hand-build `curl … -d "{…}"` with inline `jq`/shell interpolation (that silently produces empty "Message from Recoup" footer-only emails). Pairs with recoup-platform-api-access (which it sends through).

Sending email from a task

Send email by running the bundled Node script — do not assemble JSON in the shell.

Why this exists

Hand-rolling the send (

curl -sS … -d "{… \"html\": $(echo "$HTML" | jq -R -s '.') …}"

) is fragile: depending on quoting/escaping it produces a malformed body, and the API used to silently deliver an empty footer-only email titled "Message from Recoup" with

success:true

. The model gets this wrong stochastically. This script removes shell serialization entirely.

How to send

Write the email body to a file (recommended for HTML — avoids all escaping issues):

bash

cat > /tmp/report.html <<'HTML'
<h1>Daily Report</h1>
<p>…your real content…</p>
HTML

Send it:

bash

node "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/send-email.mjs" \
  --subject "Daily Report — $(date '+%B %d, %Y')" \
  --html-file /tmp/report.html \
  --to owner@example.com

$SKILL_DIR

is this skill's install directory (

~/.agents/skills/recoup-platform-email-helper

); use the absolute path to

scripts/send-email.mjs

.

Flags

Flag	Meaning
`--subject <s>`	Subject line (optional — the API derives one from the body if omitted).
`--html-file <path>` / `--html <s>`	HTML body. Prefer `--html-file` .
`--text-file <path>` / `--text <s>`	Plain-text body.
`--to <email>`	Recipient (repeatable). Omit to default to the account's own email ("email me this").
`--cc <email>`	CC (repeatable).
`--chat-id <id>`	Room id for the footer "continue the conversation" link.
`--dry-run`	Serialize + validate and print the payload; do not send. Use to preview.

Rules

Exactly one body is required. The script refuses to send (exit code 2) if there is no non-empty
```
--html
```
/
```
--text
```
. Never try to send an empty email.
Check the exit code. Non-zero means it did not send — read stderr and fix it; do not report success. The script prints the Resend message id on a real send.
The script reads
```
RECOUP_API_KEY
```
/
```
RECOUP_ACCESS_TOKEN
```
and
```
RECOUP_API_BASE
```
from the environment — these are already set in the sandbox. Never print or hard-code them.
Node only (the sandbox runtime is
```
node22
```
;
```
python3
```
is not guaranteed). Zero dependencies.
