Start Inbox Mailbox Sync

POST
/inbox/mailboxes/{mailbox}/sync

START POLLING this mailbox.

REACHES OUTSIDE GRAPH8: from here on the platform connects to the customer’s Google or IMAP server with their stored credentials, on a schedule, until it is stopped. Classified external, so it needs inbox:run rather than plain write.

It contacts no recipient - nothing is SENT by turning sync on. What it can lead to is the AI answering on this mailbox, which is governed separately by auto_respond.

Refuses with 400 if the mailbox is already running, so a retry is safe rather than doubling the polling.

202 because the first sync round happens on the org-level worker’s next pass, not inside this request.

Query Parameters

provider
required

How the mailbox is connected. REQUIRED and not inferred: the same address can be connected either way, and guessing would act on the wrong transport. Closed to a Literal so an unknown value is a 422 naming both, rather than a ValueError raised inside the handler.
