Sending emails out

Use the sending function in SMSByrd to simulate someone sending an email to your product.

Available with any of the following plans, except where noted: Business, Professional and Enterprise

If your product is capable of handling inbound emails, you can use SMSByrd’s sending feature to trigger this functionality in your product.

Sending an email to start a test​

You can send emails within the SMSByrd Dashboard, or via the API:

  1. Go to the Servers page in the SMSByrd Dashboard.
  2. Click on a server.
  3. Click on New Message at the top of the page.
  4. Select the email address to send to. You can only send to verified external email addresses.
  5. Enter the subject and message body for the email (Note: the message body field supports Markdown syntax.)
  6. When you are finished, click Send.

Attatchments​

You can include attachments in emails sent via the API, by including an array of base64-encoded attachment objects:

INSERT CODE SNIPPET

The content property of an attachment should be the base64-encoded content of the file you want to attach. Here’s an example of how to base64-encode a file:
