Sandbox vs Production

Send test emails safely in sandbox, then verify a domain for production sending.

Notify separates sandbox/test sending from production sending so you can integrate without burning deliverability.

Sandbox / test sending

New accounts can send test emails immediately from the Sandbox or via the test API:

curl -X POST https://notify.cx/api/test/send-email \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: $NOTIFY_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "to": "you@example.com",
    "subject": "Sandbox test",
    "message": "Hello from Notify sandbox"
  }'

Sandbox/test sends are for development. They do not replace verifying your own domain for production traffic.

Production sending

Production sends use:

POST https://notify.cx/api/public/v1/email/send

(aliases: /api/email/send, /api/send-email)

For production from addresses, verify your domain first. Without a verified domain, production sending from your domain will fail.

Recommended path

  1. Create an account and copy your API key from Credentials
  2. Send a sandbox/test email
  3. Add and verify your domain
  4. Send production email with subject, to, message, and optional from
  5. Watch logs and optional webhooks
