# Suppress an email channel

`POST /api/channels/email/suppress`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://go.urbanairship.com`
- URL: `https://go.urbanairship.com/api/channels/email/suppress`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP basic
  - HTTP bearer
  - OAuth 2
    - Client credentials
    - Token URL: `http://oauth2.{domain}.com/token` scopes: `chn`
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/airship/apis/airship-api/docs/api/channels/email/suppress/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Suppress an existing email channel, disallowing any future delivery from being fulfilled for the channel.

## Request body

- object
  - `address` string, required: The email address for the channel to be suppressed.
  - `reason` 'spam_complaint' | 'commercial_spam_complaint' | 'bounce' | 'imported', required: The reason for suppressing the channel. If there is no specific reason, use `imported`.

## Response `202`

Returns OK for success.

- OkResponseObject: Returned with 2xx Responses. At a minimum, successful calls return `true` for the `ok` key. If your call includes a verbose response (as with `GET` requests, etc.), the `ok` key will appear in the top-most object, outside the verbose response.
  - `ok` boolean, required: Success.
  - `operation_id` string, uuid: A unique string identifying the operations that modify resources. Use the operation ID to locate and track grouped operations (i.e., a batch push operation may generate multiple `push_id` strings, but a single `operation_id`) or operations that change an existing resource.

## Other responses

- `400`: There was a parsing or validation error in the request. Bad Request errors typically include `path` and `location` in the response to help you find the cause of the error.
- `401`: Authentication information (the app key and secret or bearer token) was either incorrect or missing.
- `404`: The requested resource doesn't exist.
