Features

Everything you need to deliver email

Transactional email for developers who need reliable delivery without babysitting an SMTP server.

Send from your domain

Verify a domain once and send from any address on it. We generate the SPF and DKIM records; you paste them into DNS.

Delivery logs

Every message tracked from queued to delivered, bounced, or complained — with the SES diagnostic attached.

Suppression handling

Hard bounces and complaints are suppressed automatically so your sender reputation stays intact.

Compliance built in

GDPR and CAN-SPAM friendly by default. Per-tenant reputation isolation keeps one customer's mistake off your domain.

Ownership verification

Domains prove ownership to send.dev with a TXT record before sending is unlocked — no lookalike-domain abuse.

Developer first

Plain REST with JSON. Reusable templates with variables. One API key for every do.dev product.

Simple integration

Start sending in under 5 minutes

Create an API key, verify your domain, and POST one JSON body. That is the whole integration.

  • Plain REST — no SDK to install
  • Bearer token auth with one do.dev API key
  • Queued in under 100ms, delivered in seconds
  • Delivery, bounce, and complaint events in your logs
curl -X POST https://api.do.dev/v1/send/emails/send \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer do_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "from": { "email": "hello@yourdomain.com", "name": "Your App" },
    "to": ["user@example.com"],
    "subject": "Welcome aboard!",
    "html": "<h1>Thanks for joining</h1>"
  }'
