Email events in Application Logs and the Backend API

GET /v1/logs now returns email events, and the Application Logs page in the Dashboard shows them next to every other event.
Email events (email.*) are now part of Application Logs. You can fetch them with the GET /v1/logs endpoint of the Backend API. Set type to email.* and payload_filter[recipient_email] to an address to find that recipient's emails. Call the endpoint from your own code or an AI agent to check whether a specific email was delivered to the recipient's mail server.
The Application Logs page in the Dashboard shows email events alongside every other event type, so the unfiltered feed puts a sign-up and its verification email in one timeline.
The Email Logs page still shows them, with three changes:
- Recipient, IP address, and message ID filters match exactly instead of by substring.
- Blocked sends appear as Bounced or Failed.
- Message ID shows the Clerk email ID when one is available.
Email events go back to October 5, 2026, or as far as your plan's retention period allows.
