Transactional email service via SMTP and API
Send order confirmations, password resets and notifications from your website, store or app. Connect it via SMTP or with our API, and track every send in real time.

How to send transactional emails with Mailrelay
Choose how to connect your website or app and start sending:

Send via SMTP
Add Mailrelay’s SMTP server details to your website, store or app, and start sending. No coding needed.
Our infrastructure, with our own servers and IPs, is built for bulk and transactional sending, so your emails reach their destination and not the spam folder.
Bounces, spam complaints and unsubscribes are handled automatically, so you don’t keep sending to addresses that hurt your sender reputation.
Or integrate it with our API
If your team develops, use the Mailrelay API to send transactional emails from your website, CRM or app.
It’s the most flexible option when you want to build sending into your own processes.
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, [
CURLOPT_URL => "https://youraccount/api/v1/send_emails", CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, CURLOPT_POST => true,
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [ "x-auth-token: YOUR_API_KEY", "content-type: application/json" ],
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode([
"from" => [ "email" => "[email protected]", "name" => "Sender name" ],
"to" => [ ["email" => "[email protected]", "name" => "Rcpt name"] ],
"subject" => "My subject",
"html_part" => "<p>Hello!</p>"
])
]);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
var_dump($response);

Measure every send in real time
See which emails were delivered, which bounced and why, who marked them as spam and who unsubscribed.
Turn on tracking to also see opens and clicks, and add SMTP tags to the subject line to filter your reports by email type: orders, passwords or invoices.
What a transactional email service brings you
Delivered when they need to be
A password reset or an order confirmation can’t be late. That’s why it’s best to send them from an infrastructure built for it, not from your website’s hosting.
A clean list, effortlessly
Bounces, spam complaints and unsubscribes are handled automatically, so you protect your sender reputation.
Stats for every send
Deliveries, bounces, opens and clicks in real time, including emails sent via SMTP.
SMTP or API, your choice
Connect via SMTP without coding, or integrate the API if your team develops.
Support from real people
Ticket support on every plan, chat from the Standard plan and phone support on Enterprise.
Transactional and marketing in one account
Send your transactional emails and your newsletters from the same tool, with the same reports.

What transactional emails you can send
Any email that’s sent automatically after a customer takes an action. These are the most common:

Account and security
Welcome after sign-up, email verification, password reset or login alert.

Orders and payments
Purchase confirmation, invoice, shipping notice or pending payment reminder. These are the emails your customers expect and look for.

Notifications and reminders
Bookings, appointments, renewals or service changes, sent at just the right moment.
Some notifications can’t wait for the email to be opened? Combine them with SMS, and use email marketing for your newsletters and campaigns, all from the same account.
How much does the transactional email service cost?
Transactional emails via SMTP and API are included in the Standard and Enterprise plans. With the free account, you can try them for 30 days and then add them for €14.95 a month.
Frequently asked questions about the transactional email service
It’s a platform that sends the automatic emails from your website, store or app for you: confirmations, invoices, passwords or notifications. Your system passes each email to it via SMTP or API, and the service takes care of delivery and stats. You’ll find types and examples in our guide to transactional emails.
If you can’t do any development, SMTP is the easiest option: you copy the server details into your app and start sending. If your team codes and you want to build sending into your processes, the API gives you more flexibility. We explain it in detail in SMTP and API for transactional emails.
Because most hosting providers aren’t built to send volume and they set limits. Also, without proper bounce and complaint handling, your domain can end up in spam, and with it the emails your customers are waiting for.
Yes. Turn on open and click tracking and you’ll see them in your reports, along with deliveries, bounces, complaints and unsubscribes. With SMTP tags in the subject line, you can separate invoices from passwords, for example.
Not to get started. You send from Mailrelay’s infrastructure, which is already set up for it. If you send high volumes and want your reputation to depend only on your own sending, you can get a dedicated IP with annual billing.
