## OpenAPI

````yaml GET /prospects/{prospectId}
openapi: 3.1.1
info:
  title: Inbox API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >+

    The Inbox API gives you full access to manage the following entities in your
    team:

    - **Threads**: DM conversations on X

    - **Account links**: X accounts connected to your team

    - **Members**: users who can access the team

    - **Prospects**: external profiles on X

    - **Tags**: labels for prospects

    - **Statuses**: pipeline statuses for prospects

    - **Lists**: collections of leads with custom columns and import jobs

    - **Campaigns**: automated multi-step DM sequences


    ## A quick note on IDs

    Inbox stores two types of IDs for objects that relate to X:

    - `id` — The Inbox ID, which is the ID of the Inbox object

    - `platformId` — The original X 'platform' ID, which is the ID of the X
    user, conversation, etc.


    Throughout the API, you'll see instances where multiple IDs are present.
    `platformId` is always the original X ID.


    ## Helpful X URLs


    You can use platform IDs to construct direct links to X:


    - **User profile**: `https://x.com/i/user/{platformId}` — This is the most
    reliable way to link to a user since it uses their immutable ID rather than
    their username, which can change.

    - **User by username**: `https://x.com/{username}` — Note that usernames can
    change, so this link may break if the user updates their handle.

    - **Tweet/Post**: `https://x.com/anyusername/status/{tweetId}` — The
    username in the URL is ignored by X; only the tweet ID matters. You can use
    any string in place of the username and the link will still work.

    - **DM conversation**: `https://x.com/i/chat/{conversationPlatformId}` — The
    conversation ID is formatted as `{smallerUserId}:{largerUserId}`, where the
    two participant user IDs are sorted numerically (smaller ID first).


    ## Encoding objects and arrays in query params


    Inbox's API uses bracket notation to denote objects and arrays.


    ### Objects

    For an endpoint that accepts a `cursor` parameter for instance, with the
    cursor object being

    ```json

    {
      id: "l44e15irdq4db30i77cgphhx",
      timestamp: "2025-11-10T18:03:16.000Z"
    }

    ```


    The URL search params would be encoded as:

    ```txt

    ?cursor[id]=l44e15irdq4db30i77cgphhx&cursor[timestamp]=2025-11-10T18:03:16.000Z

    ```


    ### Arrays

    For an endpoint that accepts an `ids` parameter for instance, with the value
    being

    ```json

    ["1", "2", "3"]

    ```


    there are three options:

    1. Repeat the parameter for each value:

    ```txt

    ?ids=1&ids=2&ids=3

    ```

    2. Append `[]` to explicitly denote an array (useful if there's only one
    value):

    ```txt

    ?ids[]=1&ids[]=2&ids[]=3

    ```

    3. Append `[number]` to denote the array index. This option is the most
    flexible and allows for reordering and skipping values:

    ```txt

    ?ids[0]=1&ids[1]=2&ids[2]=3

    ```

  - name: Campaigns
    description: >-
      Campaigns are automated multi-step DM sequences sent to leads via your
      linked X accounts.


      A campaign pulls its leads from your existing lists using **lead rules** —
      attach lists to automatically sync leads into the campaign, and optionally
      exclude lists (e.g. a "Do Not Contact" list) to avoid messaging certain
      people. Leads can also be added directly or imported in bulk.


      Each campaign has a **sequence** of steps — messages, delays, and tweet
      interactions — that run for every lead. Messages support variables for
      personalization: use the built-in `first-name` variable or create **custom
      columns** on the campaign to store per-lead data like company name or
      role.


      **Automations** let you trigger actions when certain events occur, such as
      applying a tag or setting a status when a prospect replies.


      Configure a sending schedule and hourly message rate, then enable the
      campaign to start sending.
