# Email API Now Generally Available

### 28, Aug 2026

The Telnyx Email API is now generally available and email is now a production-grade channel on the Telnyx platform. Any Telnyx customer can start sending email immediately.

Transactional and marketing email, on the same carrier-owned platform you already use for SMS, voice, and WhatsApp. One API key, one dashboard, one bill.

## What's new since beta

* **General availability:** No waitlist or invite required. Any Telnyx customer can start sending from the portal or API immediately. New customers can sign up and send in minutes.
* **Shared sending domain:** Use a Telnyx-provided shared domain for self-serve setup, or bring your own domain with full DNS verification.
* **Pay-as-you-go pricing:** Volume-based pricing starting at $0.30 per 1,000 emails, scaling down to $0.15 per 1,000 at higher volumes. No subscriptions, no minimums. [See pricing](https://telnyx.com/pricing/email-api).
* **Inbound email:** Create inboxes on verified domains, receive inbound messages via `email.received` webhooks, and build reply and thread workflows.
* **Email validation:** Free single and batch email validation to catch invalid addresses before you send.
* **Suppression management:** Two-tier suppression check at API and inject time, CSV import/export with auto-detection of SendGrid, Mailgun, and SES formats, and RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe for Gmail/Yahoo bulk sender compliance.
* **Signed webhooks:** Every webhook request is signed with an Ed25519 signature for asymmetric verification.

## What you can do

### Sending

* Transactional and marketing email via `POST /v2/email_messages` with `from`, `to`, `cc`, `bcc`, `reply_to`, `subject`, `html_body`, `text_body`, custom headers, attachments, tags, and metadata

* Scheduled sends with cancel
* Base64 attachments

### Templates

## Pricing

Pay-as-you-go, volume-based. No subscriptions, no minimums.

## Getting started

  -d '{
    "from": "[[email protected]](https://telnyx.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection)",
