# Reinstate a bounced recipient

`POST /v1/intakes/{id}/recipients/{email}/reinstate`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.briefgate.dev`
- URL: `https://api.briefgate.dev/v1/intakes/{id}/recipients/{email}/reinstate`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Clears the bounce flag on one address (primary or additional) — for a bounce that was a false positive, or a mailbox the client has since fixed and asked to be re-added to. If the intake had nobody left to chase before this call (every address had bounced) and the intake is `sent` or `in_progress`, automatic chasing resumes.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required
- `email` string, email, required

## Response `200`

Reinstated.

- object
  - `email` string, email, required
  - `bounced_at` string, date-time, nullable, required
  - `still_chasing` boolean, required: Whether this address will receive further automatic reminders.

## Other responses

- `404`: No such intake, or no such recipient on it.
- `409`: That address has not bounced.
