Introduction

Retransmit is a developer-first messaging platform: a single API and one balance for sending Email, SMS, WhatsApp, OTP, and other transactional communications.

One API. One balance. Every message.

You don’t create AWS, Twilio, or Meta accounts. You integrate Retransmit once, load credit, and start sending — Retransmit manages the underlying providers, routing, delivery, and infrastructure.

What’s available today

The first product is Retransmit Email:

  • Transactional email API (POST /v1/emails)
  • Official Node.js SDK — retransmit.dev on npm
  • API keys
  • Domain verification (SPF / DKIM)
  • Email logs and delivery status
  • Bounce and complaint handling
  • Webhooks with signed payloads

How the pieces fit

Your application │ Authorization: Bearer rt_... Retransmit API ──► Email / SMS / WhatsApp / OTP Retransmit infrastructure (SES, Twilio, Meta, ...)

Where to go next

  • Quickstart — send your first email in a few minutes.
  • Domains — add and verify a sending domain.
  • API Reference — endpoints, authentication, and errors.
  • Webhooks — get notified about delivery events and verify signatures.
