    APIs for managing user email resubscription and opt-in status.

      description: |
        This API resubscribes users who have previously unsubscribed on the MoEngage platform and an external email vendor platform simultaneously. This API resets the unsubscribe flag to “false” for users on MoEngage and makes a call to an External Service Provider (ESP) like SendGrid to remove the email addresses (associated with the unsubscribed users) from their suppression list.

          <Note>
          If you use PII Tokenization for your emails, ensure you pass the user ID when calling the Email Opt-in Management API. MoEngage uses this user ID to locate the user and update their opt-in status. Passing the email ID is ineffective in this case, as MoEngage does not store it.
          
          If you use PII Encryption to send emails, ensure you pass either the user ID or the decrypted email ID. MoEngage uses this information to locate the associated user and update their opt-in status, or to update the opt-in status of all users having that email ID.

        Authentication is done via Basic Auth. This requires a base64-encoded string of your credentials in the format 'username:password'.

        - **Username**: Use your MoEngage workspace ID (also known as the App ID). You can find it in the MoEngage dashboard at **Settings** > **Account** > **APIs** > **Workspace ID (earlier app id)**.
        - **Password**: Use your API Key, which you can find within the **Data** tile.

        For more information on authentication and getting your credentials, refer [here](https://www.moengage.com/docs/api/introduction#getting-your-credentials).

        customer_id:
          type: string
          description: |
            Unique identifier for the user in MoEngage. Optional, if `email_id` is passed.

            To avoid error, make sure you pass either `customer_id` or `email_id`.
            If you are passing `customer_id`, `email_id` is not mandatory. 
            If you pass only `customer_id`, MoEngage finds the user with this `customer_id` and updates the opt-in status accordingly.
            Generally, when `email_id` is passed, MoEngage finds all users with this `email_id` and updates the opt-in status accordingly. But if you don't want all the users with this `email_id` to be updated, you can contact the MoEngage team.
            `customer_id` is mandatory if you don't want to pass the opt-in status update to all users with the same email ID.
          example: ID_uid
        email_id:
          type: string
          format: email
          description: |
            Email ID of the user. Optional if `customer_id` is provided.
            
            If only `email_id` is provided, all users with this email may be updated (contact MoEngage support to configure behavior).

            To avoid error, make sure you pass `customer_id` or `email_id`.
            If you are passing `email_id`, `customer_id` is not mandatory.
            If you pass only `email_id`, MoEngage finds all the users with this `email_id` and updates the opt-in status accordingly.
            You can also pass both `customer_id` and `email_id`. In this case, `email_id` is given the highest priority, and MoEngage finds all users with this `email_id` and updates the opt-in status accordingly.
            You can contact the MoEngage team if you don't want to update the opt-in status of all users with the same email ID.
          example: john@example.com
        categories:
          type: object
          description: |
            Subscription status for defined categories in your dashboard.
            
            Keys are category names, values are boolean (`true`=subscribed). If even one category is invalid/inactive, the entire request will fail.
            
            **Note**: If this is passed and all category values are `false`, the overall `opt_in_status` will be overridden to **OPTED_OUT** even if `DOUBLE_OPTED_IN` is passed.
          additionalProperties:
            type: boolean

            category_1: true
            category_2: false

          type: string

            The user's overall email opt-in status.

            Note:
            This field is case-insensitive, but ensure that you follow the same format as in the example.
            You can pass both `categories` and `opt_in_status`. In this case, if all category values are `false` and `opt_in_status` is `DOUBLE_OPTED_IN`, MoEngage gives high priority to category-level information and the opt-in status is updated as `OPTED_OUT`.
