Emails

Emails are the simple and efficient way to craft one off messages such as welcome emails, password resets, or other crucial transactional communications. Requests are instant and queued into a priority queue. Most requests will be processed within 1-5 seconds.

This endpoint is throttled to send at a rate of 60 emails per minute regardless of how many emails you queue. For most use cases, this is more than enough and protects you from attacks/abuse but if you'd like to increase this limit, please reach out to support.

Avoid using emojis or URL shortners in your transactional emails as they may be detected by our systems as spam. In such cases, emails will be throttled to 1 email per hour to slow down any attack. Additionally, we also recommend not personalizing emails with dynamic content that a user can set (i.e first_name, last_name, etc) as this can lead to vulnerabilities where users can inject their own content into emails.
