Quickstart

1. Sign up

Create an account at molted.email/signup. You'll be taken to the portal dashboard after signing in.

2. Add a sending domain

Go to Dashboard > Domains and add your sending domain. You'll receive DNS records to add:

• DKIM — signs your outgoing email so recipients can verify it came from you.
• SPF — authorizes Molted Email to send on behalf of your domain.
• DMARC — tells recipient servers how to handle emails that fail DKIM or SPF.

Add these records to your DNS provider and click Verify. Verification usually completes within a few minutes.

3. Create an API key

Go to Dashboard > API Keys and click Create Key. Copy the key immediately — it is shown only once.

4. Send your first email

curl -X POST https://api.molted.email/v1/send/request \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "tenantId": "your-tenant-id",
    "recipientEmail": "recipient@example.com",
    "templateId": "welcome",
    "dedupeKey": "welcome-recipient@example.com",
    "payload": {
      "subject": "Hello from Molted Email",
      "html": "<p>Your first email, sent via the API.</p>"
    }
  }'

A successful response returns:

{
  "requestId": "req_abc123",
  "status": "queued"
}

5. Check delivery

Go to Dashboard > Sent to see the delivery status of your email. It will progress through queued → accepted → sent → delivered.
