Quickstart

Go from a new account to a delivered email. You need access to the DNS settings of a domain you own.

Create a Workspace

Sign in with your email, Google or GitHub. Onboarding asks what you send and creates your workspace. A workspace holds your domains, contacts and team.

Add a Domain

Open Domains and add the domain you send from. A subdomain such as send.acme.dev keeps your sending reputation apart from your main domain. Add the DNS records it shows, and Inboxjot marks the domain verified when it finds them. See Domains for each record.

Create an API Key

Open API Keys and click Create API Key. Pick Sending access if the key only sends email. Copy the key and store it as INBOXJOT_API_KEY. You see it only once.

Install the SDK

Install the SDK for your language. It reads INBOXJOT_API_KEY from the environment.

npm install inboxjot

Send an Email

Send an email with a from address on your verified domain.

curl -X POST https://api.inboxjot.com/v1/emails \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $INBOXJOT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "from": "Acme <hello@send.acme.dev>",
    "to": "riti@example.com",
    "subject": "Welcome to Acme",
    "text": "Thanks for signing up."
  }'

The API answers 202 Accepted with the email id.

Listen for Events

Open Webhooks and add an endpoint to get a request when the email is delivered, opened or bounces. See Webhooks to verify each request.
