Newsletter plugin Sending APIs
February 17th, 2016
We have been working on sending APIs for our WordPress Newsletter plugin.
An update for the plugin will be released soon with some of the sending APIs included.
And then more APIs as well as more functionality on the existing APIs will be added.
What are Sending APIs?
The sending APIs are interfaces of email sending services that allow you to send emails/newsletters through their API directly.
Services include Mandrill, Amazon SES, SendGrid, MailGun, MailJet, etc.
Benefits of Sending APIs
There are a few great benefits to using an API for sending email instead of using SMTP for example.
Using an API gives compatibility to all users where the hosting may not support outgoing PHP socket connections to a remote SMTP server.
Another great benefit is the speed. It is extremely quick to send emails/newsletters though the APIs compared to SMTP because a remote SMTP connection can take very long while the connection to the API is very quick and sufficient.
