| Word | What it means |
|---|---|
| Workspace | Your account in Minimo. You have one for your whole app. Your restaurants never get a Minimo account. |
| Restaurant | One of your customers. In the API it is the tenant field: a string you choose, such as your restaurant id (restaurant_4812). Up to 64 characters: letters, digits, . _ : -. |
| Guest | A person a restaurant sends email to. The API calls it a contact. The same address at two restaurants is two separate guests. |
| API key | The mn-… key your backend sends as Authorization: Bearer. It has permissions: Widgets, Events, Transactional, Domains. Keep it on your server only. |
| Widget settings | The one-time call PUT /public/v1/widgets/settings. It turns on restaurants for your workspace: before it, tenant is only a label. |
| Master template | An email template you create once in Minimo and list in masterTemplateIds of the widget settings. Every restaurant uses it and can personalize its own copy. You name it by its uid, a 7-character code like TRF4MS9 (the UID column in Templates). A master is either an automatic message (sent by your API or a rule) or a campaign starter (used in the Campaigns widget). |
| Service email | An email the guest needs: booking confirmation, reminder, cancellation. Always sent. In the template editor this category is called utility. An automatic message can still be marketing: a review request is. |
| Marketing email | Offers, newsletters, review requests. Sent only to guests who agreed to receive them, and subject to protections. |
| Event | What your backend tells Minimo happened, for example booking.created. |
| Rule | Which master template to send for which event, and when: immediately, or before or after a date of the event. |
| Widget | A Minimo screen inside your page (send history, statistics, automatic messages, campaigns, contacts, brand). |
| Session | A short-lived set of widget links for one restaurant, created by your backend. |
| Sender | The From address of an email, for example bookings@trattoriadamario.yoursaas.example. |
| Top-up | Adding credit in Settings → Plan & billing. Until the first one, a workspace sends at most 100 emails a day. |

The few words these pages use, each with one meaning
These pages use one name for each idea. The example app is a restaurant-manager app: replace “restaurant” with your
own kind of customer.
