Certifier API
Credentials

Send a credential

Don't see what you need?

This API is still growing. If an endpoint, parameter, or filter you need isn't here yet — or you just have a question — tell us. We read every message and regularly add new capabilities based on real use cases from customers like you.

POST
/v1/credentials/{id}/send

Use this endpoint to send a published credential to a recipient. You can only send credentials with status = "issued".

Currently, the only supported deliveryMethod is email. Certifier will send an email to the recipient using the email template configured for the group (credential template) the credential belongs to.

If you are looking for an all-in-one solution that simultaneously creates, issues, and sends a credential, check the Create, issue, and send a credential endpoint.
