When the address belongs to an account, Orbit emails a single-use reset link that expires after one hour; when it does not, no email is sent. The response is 200 either way, so the endpoint cannot be used to discover which addresses are registered. Requests are rate limited per IP address and per email address. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.yaml post /api/v1/auth/forgot-password openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Devotel CPaaS API description: Orbit by Devotel — Communications Platform as a Service API version: 1.0.0 contact: name: Devotel url: https://devotel.io email: support@devotel.io license: name: Proprietary servers: - url: https://api.orbit.devotel.io description: Production security: - Bearer: [] - ApiKey: [] tags: - name: Messages description: >- Send and manage messages across all channels (SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, Email, Viber, etc.) - name: Agents description: AI agent creation, configuration, and execution - name: Voice description: Voice calls, IVR, conferencing, and SIP trunking - name: Webhooks description: Webhook endpoint management and delivery logs - name: Numbers description: Phone number search, provisioning, and configuration - name: Contacts description: Contact management, segmentation, and lifecycle tracking - name: Campaigns description: Marketing campaign orchestration and analytics - name: Flows description: Automation flow builder and execution engine - name: Templates description: Message template management and approval workflows - name: Settings description: Organization, channel, and user preference settings - name: Verify description: OTP generation and verification across channels - name: Push description: Push notification delivery via FCM and APNs - name: Telegram description: >- Telegram bring-your-own-bot channel: connect a bot, verify a chat against the shared sandbox bot, and read unified channel state.
