MailcrateGetting Started
Go from a new account to your first sent campaign, one short step at a time.
Mailcrate is an email platform for marketing campaigns, automated journeys and transactional email. This section takes you from signing up to sending your first campaign. Each page covers one step and takes a few minutes; DNS verification is the only part that can make you wait.
Before you start
You need:
- An email address you can receive mail at, for the account confirmation.
- Access to the DNS settings of the domain you want to send from (your registrar or DNS host, such as Cloudflare, Route 53 or GoDaddy). If someone else manages DNS for your company, ask them now, because verification needs a few records published there.
- Optionally, a CSV of contacts who have agreed to receive your email.
The steps
Account & Authentication
Register, confirm your email, log in, reset a password and turn on two-factor authentication.
Workspace Onboarding
Create a workspace, walk through the setup wizard and use the setup checklist.
Verify Your Sending Domain
Add your domain, publish its DNS records and create the address you send from.
API Keys
Create a key for your developers or an integration, with only the permissions it needs.
Team Invitations
Invite teammates, choose their role and manage who has access.
Your First Campaign
Build, test and send a campaign from start to finish.
Integrating from code?
If you are a developer who mainly wants to send email from your application, you still need a verified domain and an API key from this section. After that, continue with API & SDKs.
