Email overview

The Email service controls how your app sends product and account messages. It covers sender identity, provider routes, templates, workflow timing, built-in transactional emails, suppressions, and delivery runtime.

Runtime monitoring

The runtime view helps answer:

  • was the message rendered?
  • was it queued?
  • did it send?
  • did it bounce or get marked as spam?
  • is the recipient suppressed?
  • can the message be resent?
  • which workflow produced the message?

Launch checklist

  • sender identity is recognizable
  • reply-to behavior is intentional
  • invitation template is clear
  • verification and recovery emails work
  • built-in emails match product tone
  • automation timing is reviewed
  • test sends reach a monitored mailbox
  • bounced or suppressed recipients are reviewed

Use email carefully

Email is user-visible and reputation-sensitive. Before launch:

  • use a verified sender domain when available
  • avoid misleading sender names
  • keep templates short and clear
  • test every locale you enable
  • review suppressions and bounced recipients
  • avoid sending bulk messages from an untested route
