Quickstart

Create an Account

Sign up for a Simply Send account to get access to the dashboard, API keys, and sending infrastructure.

Verify Your Domain

Before sending, you need to verify ownership of your sending domain and configure DNS records to improve deliverability.

Get Your API Key & Account ID

All API requests require two values in the HTTP headers: your API Key (X-Api-Key) and your Account ID (X-Id).

Set Up Compliance Templates

Marketing emails require a physical mailing address and an unsubscribe link to comply with CAN-SPAM and GDPR. Simply Send handles this automatically through Compliance Templates.

Send Your First Email

With your domain verified and API key in hand, you're ready to send. Replace the placeholders below with your real values and fire off your first request.

• your_api_key_here — the Transactional API key you generated
• your_account_id — your Account ID from the Account page
• sender@yourdomain.com — your verified sending domain address

curl -X POST https://tapi.simplysend.email/send \
  -H "X-Api-Key: your_api_key_here" \
  -H "X-Id: your_account_id" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
