What is the Email Sending API?

The Helix Email Sending API sends transactional and marketing emails with HTML templates, attachments, tracking, and delivery status. No SMTP credentials, no DNS setup, no inbox placement headaches — just one API call from your code.

How it works

  1. 1POST /send with `to`, `subject`, `body` — that's it.
  2. 2POST /send/template uses a saved template + variables (no inline HTML).
  3. 3Attachments supported (PDF, images, files up to 25MB).
  4. 4Delivery status webhooks: sent, delivered, opened, clicked, bounced, complained.
  5. 5Built on top of reputable SMTP relays — high inbox placement, low spam scores.

Endpoints

Frequently asked questions

Real answers to questions developers ask before integrating.

No — we send from helix-api.com domain by default. For your own domain, configure SPF/DKIM via the dashboard (5-min setup).
What's the inbox placement rate?
98%+ to Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo. We continuously warm up IPs and rotate sending domains to maintain reputation.

Yes — base64-encode files in the request, up to 25MB combined. Most file types (PDF, images, docs, ZIP).
Can I send marketing emails (not just transactional)?
Yes — but you must include unsubscribe links and only email opted-in recipients. We enforce CAN-SPAM compliance.
