Getting Started

Get up and running with AutoSend in less than 5 minutes. In this guide, we’ll show you how to use AutoSend to send your first email.

1. Add Your Domain

Before sending emails, you need to verify ownership of your sending domain by adding DNS records. This ensures high deliverability and authenticates your emails.

  • Add your domain or subdomain (we recommend using a subdomain like mail.yourdomain.com)
  • Configure DNS records (DKIM, SPF, DMARC)
  • Verify domain ownership

2. Generate API Keys

Create secure API keys to authenticate your requests to the AutoSend API. Each key can be named for easy management (e.g., “Production”, “Staging”, “Marketing”).

  • Generate API keys from your dashboard
  • Copy and securely store your secret key
  • Use the key in your API requests

See authentication guide

3. Send Your First Email

With your domain verified and API key ready, you can start sending emails immediately using our REST API.

curl -X POST https://api.autosend.com/v1/mails/send \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
 -d '{
