  • Inbound routing — Receive inbound email at your verified domain and forward it to a webhook endpoint.
  • Preference center — Hosted unsubscribe page automatically linked in campaign footers.
  • A/B testing — Test up to 5 subject line variants on a campaign before sending to the full audience.
  • Warm-up schedules — Automatically ramp sending volume on new domains to build reputation.

Improvements

  • POST /v1/contacts now performs an upsert by email address — no more duplicate errors on re-import.
  • Webhook payloads now include messageId for correlation with your email provider.
  • Campaign stats are now available via GET /v1/campaigns/:id — no separate stats endpoint required.
