## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability sam-ragsdale-email-sender-x402-31dd1773 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Send an email to alice@example.com with the subject 'Project Update' and body 'Hi Alice, just wanted to let you know the project is on track for delivery by Friday. Best, Sam' — pay with x402 from x402@samragsdale.com.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to send a single outbound email programmatically via the x402 micropayment protocol and are comfortable paying $1 USDC per send. It is the standard (non-priority) send option that does not CC the sender. Prefer over the priority variant when CC confirmation is not needed, and over a calendar booking endpoint when the goal is asynchronous message delivery rather than scheduling.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid recipient email address format — returns success: false with an error message
- Subject or body exceeds character limits (subject >200 chars, body >10,000 chars) — validation error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — x402 payment rejection before the request reaches the handler
- Empty subject or body — required field validation error
- Network or SMTP delivery failure — success: false with delivery error message
