Create a workspace
Create an isolated workspace for a customer or team by code — with its own future domains, keys and suppressions, and a monthly allocation from your organisation pool.
The new workspace starts with bounce and complaint suppressions shared from your home workspace, no domains and no keys — mint its first key with Create a workspace API key. In a separate-workspace organisation (each workspace on its own plan) this endpoint can mint one Free workspace; further workspaces need a plan chosen in the console and the call returns 403 free_plan_workspace_limit.
