The easiest way to send & receive emails via code.
Send transactional emails via API
Create a transactional email API workflow by collecting the recipient, template data, and message type, then authenticating a server-side request. Keep credentials in environment variables, and send from a domain and address you control.
Start with a test message, validate the payload, and record the provider response or message ID. Add retries only for temporary failures, and prevent duplicate sends when requests time out or jobs run more than once.

More about safe retries
Duplicate sends often happen when an application retries after a timeout without knowing whether the first request succeeded. Define retry and deduplication behavior before enabling automatic retries.
- Generate one idempotency key per logical message, and reuse it for every retry.
- With a TypeScript SDK, handle timeout, validation, authentication, and rate-limit errors separately.
- Retry temporary failures with backoff. Do not retry invalid recipients or malformed payloads.
