Getting Started

YCloud Email is a faster, simpler way to deliver at scale, suitable for sending transactional and marketing emails. It's better than using a personal email address, as you can have unlimited sending quotas and avoid being marked as spam. If you're building an application, you'll primarily interact with the Web API, which is our fastest, most flexible, and most secure option. Once you've integrated with our Web API, you'll see rapid email delivery, highly configurable settings, data features, and account security through your API key.

Before You Begin

To use any YCloud product, you need to register for a free account.

To activate the Email feature, click the Enable button on the Integrations page.

For Trial Accounts

You should be aware of some limitations:

  • Trial accounts only support sending to your own registered email.

  • The maximum daily delivery is 50 emails.

  • YCloud provides an address ycloud@ycloud-mail.com for testing, but this address only supports sending to your own registered email, regardless of whether you upgrade your account.

Setting Up Your Domain

Add and verify your official domain. You need to prepare a domain for sending emails. Through your DNS provider (e.g., GoDaddy, Rackspace, Cloudflare, Route53, etc.), you can add the DNS records provided by YCloud to your DNS entries. These entries are known as SPF and DKIM records. This domain will be the address displayed in the recipient field.

Upgrade Your Account by Recharging

You can decide at any time to complete the free trial and upgrade your account.

Using and Testing

It's time to integrate the Email Send API and test, sending one or more emails with attachments to one or more target addresses.
