Accessing your dashboard and trial plan
When you log in to your new account, you'll be directed straight to your personal dashboard.
You will automatically be placed on the Trial plan to streamline your initial experience with MailerSend. As part of this trial, you'll have access to a trial domain you can use to send test emails without the need for adding and verifying your own domain.
Trial Domain
The trial domain, a subdomain of mlsender.net, comes with a limit of 100 emails (one-time) to any 5 recipients. There's no need to verify each recipient, making it easier to test.
Choose how you want to send emails
Firstly, decide how you want to start sending emails: via SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) or API (Application Programming Interface). And do not worry, you'll have the flexibility to switch between SMTP and API or utilize both as your needs evolve.
SMTP relay
SMTP is revered for its simplicity and compatibility. If you're seeking a straightforward method to send transactional emails without delving into code, SMTP might be your best option. It's especially suitable for users who prefer to work with familiar email clients or have systems already built around SMTP.
API
On the other hand, the API option offers a more dynamic and controlled environment. With API integration, you can tailor your email-sending process, automate workflows, and harness the full potential of MailerSend's capabilities. It's ideal for developers and teams looking for granular control over their email operations, allowing for customization at every step of the sending process.
Adding your own domain
You're free to add your own domain whenever you're ready. We've designed this process to be straightforward, so you can effortlessly transition when you know that MailerSend fits your needs.
