## About

## What it does
Email Address Detection scans a block of text and returns any email addresses it finds. Send the content in `body.content`, get back a `job_id` and `status_url` for the asynchronous job, then poll the job status endpoint with the job ID.

Use Email Address Detection when you need to pull contact addresses out of raw text from support tickets, lead notes, scraped pages, documents, or chat logs. It is useful when you already have unstructured content and need to isolate email addresses without building your own pattern-matching logic.

The status response returns a `data` object with `id`, `type`, and `attributes`. Inside `attributes`, you can read the job `type`, `status`, and `result`, where `result` is an array of strings containing the detected email addresses.

This service is a good fit for workflows that normalize inbound text before enrichment, CRM import, or validation steps. It gives you a simple async flow: submit content, check status, and read the extracted email list when the job completes.
