Send test emails

Confirm Piisend is wired correctly before production traffic.

Option A — Dashboard onboarding (fastest)

1. Sign up and create an API key

Open API → Keys in the dashboard and create a key with emails:send.

2. Send the onboarding test email

During setup, use the Send test email action. Piisend sends a standard message (Hello from Piisend) to your account email using your newest API key.

This calls POST /auth/onboarding/test-email (dashboard session auth, not your API key).

3. Check your inbox

Look for subject Hello from Piisend. If it lands in spam, continue with domain verification before scaling volume.

Option B — API test send

Send to an address you control with POST /emails and your API key. See the Quickstart for curl, JavaScript, and Python examples (https://api.piisend.com/api/v1/emails).

Option C — Live playground

The homepage includes a live email playground with copy-paste curl, JavaScript, and Python snippets you can run against the API.

Verify delivery

Dashboard: open Emails / Logs and confirm status reaches delivered (or sent while waiting for provider feedback).
Webhooks: register an endpoint and listen for email.delivered events.
