Outcome
Bind a connected Nexus mailbox sender (mailboxId, mbsender_…, from the connect return URL's mailbox_id) to a seat, read its status from Nexus and lift a pause the previous mailbox caused (misconfigured, not allowed, needs re-auth, unavailable). The seat sends from this mailbox from the next run. Verify with seats.get; roll back by binding the previous mailbox id.
Before you start
- Verify the intended environment, signed-in credential, authorized organization and the action permission workspace:write.
- Discover and select an authorized canonical Engage workspace. Pass resourceType=workspace and resourceId separately from action input.
- Review the exact effects and obtain approval before CLI --confirm or MCP confirm:true. A local capture does not authorize a live mutation.
Discover the target
topolo whoami --json
topolo actions get app_topolo_engage.seats.bind_mailbox --json
topolo workspaces list topolo-engage --json
Set ENGAGE_WORKSPACE_ID to the identifier of the selected authorized workspace.
Input contract
| Field | Required | Declared constraints |
|---|---|---|
id | Yes | {"type":"string","minLength":1,"maxLength":128} |
mailboxId | Yes | {"type":"string","pattern":"^mbsender_[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,120}$"} |
Validate, plan and execute
Build payload.json from the current schema and discovered identifiers. The action description above defines its behavior, limits, side effects and declared errors.
: "${ENGAGE_WORKSPACE_ID:?Set ENGAGE_WORKSPACE_ID to your selected workspace identifier}"
topolo actions validate app_topolo_engage.seats.bind_mailbox --data @payload.json --json
topolo actions plan app_topolo_engage.seats.bind_mailbox --resource-type workspace --resource-id "$ENGAGE_WORKSPACE_ID" --data @payload.json --confirm --json
Review the plan and approve its exact effects before executing the unchanged request.
: "${ENGAGE_WORKSPACE_ID:?Set ENGAGE_WORKSPACE_ID to your selected workspace identifier}"
topolo actions call app_topolo_engage.seats.bind_mailbox --resource-type workspace --resource-id "$ENGAGE_WORKSPACE_ID" --data @payload.json --confirm --json
For MCP, use topolo_get_action, topolo_validate_action, topolo_plan_action and topolo_call_action. Pass resource context separately where required; confirm:true is required for mutations.

Effects and response meaning
- Bind a connected Nexus mailbox sender (mailboxId, mbsender_…, from the connect return URL's mailbox_id) to a seat, read its status from Nexus and lift a pause the previous mailbox caused (misconfigured, not allowed, needs re-auth, unavailable). The seat sends from this mailbox from the next run. Verify with seats.get; roll back by binding the previous mailbox id.
Verify the outcome
- Check the response against the declared output schema and the requested operation. For mutations, use the action-specific read described in the action description before any dependent operation.
Recover
For an uncertain result, inspect current retained state with a read action before retrying. Do not replay a mutation unless its contract explicitly guarantees idempotency.

Error recovery
- HTTP 401
user_credential_required: Read the refusal details and current action contract, correct the stated cause, then validate and plan again. Do not retry unchanged or infer success. - HTTP 422
invalid_action_input: Correct the request against the current action input schema, then validate it again before planning. - HTTP 404
not_found: Rediscover the identifier using the related list or get action in the same authorized resource. Do not guess identifiers or change organization context. - HTTP 403
permission_denied: Stop and inspect the current credential and selected resource. It needs workspace:write; do not broaden access or switch organization automatically. - HTTP 424
mailbox_directory_not_configured: Read the refusal details and current action contract, correct the stated cause, then validate and plan again. Do not retry unchanged or infer success. - HTTP 502
mailbox_directory_unavailable: Preserve the request and inspect the declared dependency state. Retry only after the transient or configuration cause is resolved; do not infer that the operation completed.
