title: "Email site seal"
source_url: https://dev.digicert.com/certcentral-apis/services-api/orders/email-site-seal.html
api_method: POST
api_endpoint: "/services/v2/order/certificate/{{order_id}}/site-seal/email-seal"

**POST** `https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/order/certificate/{{order_id}}/site-seal/email-seal`

Use this endpoint to send an email with the site seal code for an order. By default, DigiCert emails the site seal code to the authenticated user (the user that owns the API key in the request header). To choose a different recipient, use the optional `recipient_email` request parameter.


> **Tip**
>
> **Updating your site seal**
>
> To change the settings for a site seal, use the [Update site seal settings](https://dev.digicert.com/md/certcentral-apis/services-api/orders/update-site-seal-settings.md) endpoint.
>
> Alternately, you can change the settings for a site seal with the same API request you use to email the site seal. The **Email site seal** endpoint honors the same request parameters as the **Update site seal settings** endpoint. See [Update site seal settings](https://dev.digicert.com/md/certcentral-apis/services-api/orders/update-site-seal-settings.md) for descriptions of these parameters and usage information.
