MailingAPI is a transactional email API built for developers who need reliable email delivery. We handle the infrastructure so you can focus on building your product.

What is transactional email?

Transactional emails are messages triggered by user actions:

  • Account emails — registration confirmations, password resets, email verification
  • Order notifications — receipts, shipping updates, delivery confirmations
  • Alerts — security warnings, usage limits, system notifications
  • User actions — comments, mentions, invitations

Unlike marketing emails, transactional emails are expected by the recipient. They have higher open rates (60-80%) and require immediate delivery.

Why MailingAPI?

Built for developers

  • Simple REST API — send emails with a single POST request
  • Comprehensive SDKs — Python, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, Go, Elixir
  • Detailed documentation — every endpoint documented with examples
  • Sandbox mode — test without sending real emails

High deliverability

  • SPF, DKIM, DMARC — configured automatically for your domain
  • Reputation management — shared IPs maintained by our team
  • Bounce handling — automatic suppression of invalid addresses
  • Spam analysis — pre-send content scoring

Real-time visibility

  • Live dashboards — track deliveries, opens, clicks, bounces
  • Webhooks — get instant notifications for every event
  • Detailed logs — full message history with event timeline
  • Analytics API — export data for your own dashboards

European infrastructure

  • Servers in EU — data never leaves Europe
  • GDPR compliant — consent management, data export, deletion
  • Local support — English and Polish
  • DPA included — no extra paperwork
