Send types
| Type | Friendly name | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| MESSAGE | Action-based email | Order confirmations, password resets, account alerts — triggered by a user action or system event |
| NEWSLETTER | Subscription email | Campaigns, newsletters, announcements — sent to opted-in subscriber lists |
Billing
Email sends are billed as Basic Message units for bothMESSAGE and NEWSLETTER — there is no Basic vs Single split by content length (unlike RCS). Email has its own independent tier: volume on the email channel does not affect your RCS or SMS pricing. Responses still include billing metadata for reconciliation.
Deliverability
The platform integrates with best-in-class email delivery infrastructure. Operational features include suppression checks, bounce and complaint handling, and webhook events (delivered, opened, clicked) that feed analytics and your developer webhooks.API usage
UsePOST /v1/messages with email-specific fields (recipient, subject, HTML/text or template reference). Auth, balance checks, queueing, and webhooks follow the same pattern as RCS. See the Email API for the full field reference.
See Email (API) for endpoint-oriented documentation.
