Live. This area is documented as current, user-reliable behavior.

Goal

Operate consent-backed broadcast mail without mixing it with application-triggered transactional traffic.

Prerequisites

  • A verified sender domain
  • An active template
  • Recipient consent source and timestamp evidence

Workflow

1
Use the protected transactional and broadcast streams, or create a custom stream of either type.
2
Create an audience and import between 1 and 10,000 normalized, consent-evidenced members per request.
3
Create a draft campaign with an audience, template, optional pinned version, and verified sender.
4
Send the draft once, then inspect its batch, recipient items, events, and webhook deliveries.

Traffic isolation

  • Transactional streams are for user or application-triggered messages.
  • Broadcast streams are for one-to-many communication and require unsubscribe behavior.
  • The built-in transactional and broadcast streams are protected; custom streams retain the policy of their selected type.

Campaign lifecycle

  • Member states include subscribed, unsubscribed, complained, and hard_bounced.
  • Campaign states include draft, processing, queued, completed, and failed.
  • A queued campaign references the resulting batch for recipient-level inspection.
  • Campaign delivery uses the broadcast stream, campaign tags, list-unsubscribe behavior, and deterministic member idempotency keys.

Expected result

Only sendable, consented members enter a broadcast batch with deterministic idempotency and unsubscribe behavior.

Common failures

  • Missing consent source or timestamp
  • Duplicate addresses in one import
  • Sending an archived or empty audience
  • Exceeding the configured batch recipient limit

Templates and OTP

Create versioned templates, preview and test them, send from a template, and use the built-in one-time-code challenge flow.

Events, webhooks, and timelines

List mail events, inspect per-message timelines, subscribe webhooks, rotate secrets, retry deliveries, and verify webhook signatures.

Bounces, suppressions, and reputation

Handle hard and soft bounces, workspace-scoped suppressions, sending limits, warmup stage, domain reputation, and reputation events.
