## 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-standard-728ec890 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Send Sam Ragsdale an email with the subject 'Partnership Inquiry' and a body that says 'Hi Sam, I came across your work and would love to explore a collaboration. Please let me know if you're open to a conversation.' — my name is Alex Chen and my email is alex@example.com.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to send a one-way message to Sam Ragsdale and do not require a CC copy for yourself. If you need to be CC'd on the outbound email, use the priority email endpoint instead. If you want to schedule a real-time conversation, use the calendar booking endpoint.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (subject, body, senderName, senderEmail) returns a validation error
- Body exceeding 10,000 characters or subject exceeding 200 characters is rejected
- Invalid senderEmail format may cause rejection
- Payment of $10 USDC not fulfilled results in 402 Payment Required
- Sam may never respond — delivery is confirmed but reply is not guaranteed

## How this service works

Send Sam Ragsdale an email. He may or may not respond, but he will see it. You will not be CC'd unless he responds.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a boolean 'success' field, a 'message' string confirming delivery, and an optional 'emailId' string identifying the sent email. The sender is not CC'd on this standard tier; only Sam receives the message.
