Quick Start
From sign-up to sent email in four steps.
1
Create an account
Sign up is free and instant — no approval wait. Create an account →
2
Verify a sending domain
In your dashboard, add a domain and publish the DNS records shown — one DKIM TXT record plus an MX and SPF record for the MAIL FROM domain. Verification is automatic once DNS propagates.

Generate an API key
From Dashboard → API Keys, create a key with the emails:send permission. The full key is shown once — store it somewhere safe.
4
Send an email
Install the SDK, or call the API directly.
