You keep them informed. Help a customer get back into their account, confirm a purchase or follow a delivery. Your application sends the email when the action happens, with the details that person needs next.

Meer bouwen. Test requests, traceer aflevering en herstel van fouten met duidelijke feedback bij elke stap. ### Test de foutpaden. Activeer echte aflevergebeurtenissen zonder naar een echte inbox te verzenden. ### Fouten waar je op kunt handelen. Het veld, de reden en de volgende stap. Voor jou en je agents. ### Verwerk aflevergebeurtenissen. Verifieer webhooksignaturen met de SDK en reageer vervolgens op aflevergebeurtenissen. ### Opnieuw proberen met vertrouwen. Probeer opnieuw met dezelfde key en body om het oorspronkelijke antwoord op te halen.

Find the answer. Search the email log by recipient or message ID. Open the message to see its delivery history, including deferrals and bounces, then use signed webhooks to bring those updates back into your application.

Transactional email is a message a customer expects after an action: a password reset, purchase receipt, booking confirmation or account update. Your application sends it to the person involved. Newsletters, promotions and audience campaigns belong in Email marketing. ### Can I use SMTP instead of the API? Yes. Bird SMTP and the Email API use the same sending infrastructure, domain verification, suppression handling and reporting. Choose the submission method your application supports. ### Does delivered mean the email reached the inbox? Delivered means the receiving mail server accepted the message. Inbox Insights measures inbox and spam placement separately through seed accounts and a measurement panel. ## Schaal zonder controle te verliezen.
