Retrieve verification or submission email evidence
Auto Apply is an invite-only beta.
BLOCKS while polling the mailbox for the verification email belonging to the given application, using the application’s apply host and provider as context to pick the right email. Some providers send a one-time code, others a confirmation link — the response’s type says which was found: type code carries the code; for type link Jobo clicks the confirmation link server-side (https-only, SSRF-guarded) and returns it with link_visited / link_http_status. Explicit type confirmation instead looks for a positive post-submit acknowledgement and never visits a link. Pass type to constrain what is accepted (default any, which remains code-or-link only). Status timeout means no matching email arrived within wait_seconds — an expected outcome, not an error.
Optional. This endpoint only saves you reading the inbox yourself — an integration that resolves the code or link its own way submits it through the same answers call and never needs a connected mailbox. Type confirmation is intended for controlled post-submit certification.
Call this the moment an application pauses on a one_time_code step: the step’s answer window is 60 seconds, so keep wait_seconds at the default 45 to leave time to submit the code through the answers endpoint. Keep your HTTP client timeout above wait_seconds.
Extracted codes and links are validated server-side and must appear verbatim in the selected email. Submission acknowledgements must be time-correlated and match the application provider or a meaningful apply-host label. Email contents never leave the extraction — only the evidence type, code or link when applicable, sender, subject, and received timestamp are returned.

Path Parameters
Mailbox ID.
Body
The application whose verification email should be found. Its apply host and provider give the extraction its context.
How long to keep polling before answering timeout. Values are clamped server-side.
5 <= x <= 75What the verification email is expected to carry. code = only a one-time code satisfies the request; link = only a confirmation link (clicked server-side); confirmation = only a positive post-submit acknowledgement, with no link visit; any = code or link only.
code, link, confirmation, any Response
The poll finished: status found with the code, or status timeout.
