1Create an Account

Sign up for a free Transmit account. No credit card required.

2Connect Your AWS SES

Transmit connects to your AWS account securely. We recommend our One-Click Connect flow which uses IAM Roles - it's faster and more secure than managing access keys.

One-Click (Recommended)

Connect in 60 seconds using CloudFormation. No long-lived secrets stored.

IAM Access Keys

Manual configuration using Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.

Transmit handles all infrastructure plumbing (SNS, S3, SES Configurations) automatically.

3Verify Your Domain

Add your sending domain and verify it via DNS. We'll automatically configure DKIM, SPF, and DMARC for optimal deliverability.

4Send Your First Email

Use the API to send a transactional email:

curl -X POST https://api.xmit.sh/v1/send \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "from": "hello@yourdomain.com",
    "to": "user@example.com",
    "subject": "Hello from Transmit!",
    "html": "<p>Your first email is live.</p>"
  }'
