Core Infrastructure

Engineered for high deliverability and zero incident risk

Every layer from edge connection pooling to per-key rate limits is designed to keep critical transactional dispatches fast, reliable, and contained.

Bypass Gmail & Outlook Throttling

Sending business transactional emails from personal Gmail zaps causes spam flags and domain bans. SadaSend provides dedicated transactional pipes.

Connect with Any Zapier Trigger

Trigger transactional emails from Stripe charges, Shopify orders, Google Sheets row updates, Airtable records, or Typeform submissions.

Two Easy Setup Options

Integrate via "Webhooks by Zapier" custom HTTP request or the "Email by Zapier" SMTP action pointing to smtp.sadasend.com:587.

Recipient Safeguards & Test Mode

Test your Zaps with test mode API keys to verify formatting and variable mapping without sending emails to real customers.

Architectural Comparison

SadaSend vs Email by Zapier (Native)
