Overview
Sendmux is an Email API primarily designed to cater for AI agents, offering features such as agent inboxes, outbound routing via user-designated providers and automatic failover.
It provides a unified API surface that simplifies tasks related to outbound mails, agent mailboxes, routing control and delivery events. One of its key features allows users to create agent-shaped mailboxes either on verified domains or shared agent-specific domains.
The API ensures that raw message contents are available upon request and facilitates tasks like stripping signatures and quoted history, optionally making links, headers, and attachments available.For outbound emails, Sendmux allows users to break free from provider lock-ins, enabling sending from a mailbox over HTTP or SMTP protocols.
It also ensures safe HTTP retries through Idempotency-Key support. The platform also incorporates messaging routing considerations, allowing users to bind a mailbox key to all active providers, selected providers or delivery groups and implement control measures such as provider weights and quotas to manage traffic.Sendmux also eradicates the need for polling loops through use of signed webhooks for server delivery, an SSE stream for real-time mailbox clients, and typed change polling when a client needs to resync its state.Ultimately, Sendmux offers a one-platform solution, helping you coordinate services that were previously disjointed, ensuring the AI agents focus on the content rather than parsing formatting.
It also provides provisions for flexibility, enabling you to bring your own providers or route across multiple accounts.
