Quick Answer
A transactional email API lets applications send one-to-one, event-triggered emails programmatically via HTTP — password resets, order confirmations, account alerts. Unlike marketing campaigns, transactional emails are sent in response to specific user actions and carry different consent requirements. NexusProMail’s REST API provides sandbox access on signup, webhook delivery events and automatic suppression enforcement.
Key Takeaways
- Transactional emails are triggered by user actions; marketing emails are sender-initiated — different consent rules apply
- Always send from a dedicated subdomain (e.g. mail.yourdomain.com) separate from your marketing sending domain
- Register webhook endpoints to receive real-time events for bounces, complaints, opens and unsubscribes
- The sandbox API key works immediately on signup — no DNS setup required for initial testing
- The API enforces suppression automatically — attempting to send to a suppressed address returns a 422 response

Suppression enforcement
The API checks your suppression list before every send. Unsubscribed and hard-bounced addresses are rejected at the API level, not just filtered.
