# Email API Overview

> Telnyx Email API — a full email platform with sending, receiving, inboxes, templates, tracking, suppression management, and deliverability tools.

The Telnyx Email API is a full email platform — not just a send endpoint. It combines transactional sending, bi-directional inboxes, deliverability tooling, and event tracking into a single API built on the same infrastructure that powers Telnyx's global messaging network.

## What you can build

| Capability             | What it does                                                                                                 |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Send email**         | Transactional and marketing email with HTML, attachments, scheduling, idempotency, and batch sending         |
| **Receive email**      | Full inboxes with threads, labels, drafts, replies, forwarding, and sender filters                           |
| **Track everything**   | Open tracking, click tracking, unsubscribe tracking, and a complete event lifecycle from queued to delivered |
| **Manage reputation**  | Automatic suppressions, unsubscribe groups, deliverability monitoring, and domain reputation scoring         |
| **Use templates**      | Liquid-templated email templates with variable auto-extraction                                               |
| **Validate addresses** | Single and batch email validation to reduce bounces before you send                                          |
| **Own your domain**    | Full DKIM/SPF/DMARC support with automated DNS record generation and verification                            |
| **Instant onboarding** | Shared domain for two-minute sends with zero DNS setup                                                       |

## Architecture

Telnyx Email runs on the same global infrastructure that powers Telnyx's messaging network. You get:

* **REST API** for all operations — sending, inbox management, domain configuration, suppressions, and events
* **Webhooks** for real-time delivery and engagement events (queued, sent, delivered, bounced, opened, clicked, unsubscribed)
* **Polling** for on-demand event retrieval via `GET /email_events`
* **Fully managed** — no mail server setup, no IP warmup, no MTA configuration
