5 minutes from npm install to first send
Send an email from the language you already use.
SDKs in every major runtime. The first send can go to a sanctioned test address (delivered@messagebird.dev), so you can build against the live API (sends, webhooks, the whole flow) before you verify a domain.
Ten parts of email that
aren't your problem anymore.
Deliverability and operational primitives,
named and audit-able.
- 01
Signed at the edge.
DKIM, SPF, and DMARC signed for any verified sending domain, with optional BIMI support.
- 02
Proactive blocklist tracking.
Live monitoring across the major DNSBLs; alerts before the open rate dips.
- 03
Managed dedicated IPs.
Provisioned per account and warmed automatically over roughly 30 days, organized into pools you control.
- 04
Dynamic suppression list.
Bounces, complaints, and unsubscribes suppress the recipient automatically and reversibly.
- 05
DNS verification in 60s.
Add a domain, paste the records, hit verify. Most verifications resolve in under a minute.
- 06
React Email templates.
Server-rendered in the SDK. Pass a React component as the body; we render the MIME at send time.
- 07
Searchable email log.
Every message you send is logged with its delivery events and status. Query any email by ID.
- 08
Deliverability metrics, broken down.
Bounce codes, complaint types, and mailbox-provider and client breakdowns, broken out per domain, ISP, and IP, in the dashboard and via the stats API.
- 09
Inbound parsing.
HMAC-signed webhooks per recipient address. Parse replies; build threaded apps.
- 10
Batch send up to 100.
Up to 100 independent messages per call, each with its own recipient and variables. One idempotency key covers the batch.
