Quickstart

Status: Phase 0 placeholder — the product is in active development. The flow described below is the intended quickstart that lands as Phase 1–3 ship.

1. Create a workspace

Sign up at app.sushisend.com using Google, GitHub, Cloudflare, or email/password. You’ll be prompted to enable TOTP 2FA — required after 14 days.

2. Add a sending domain

Open Domains → Add domain and enter the domain you want to send from. SushiSend creates the SES identity and prepares the DKIM and MAIL FROM records.

3. Connect Cloudflare

If your DNS is on Cloudflare, click Connect Cloudflare and authorize SushiSend. We write the DNS records and poll until verification completes — usually under a minute.

If your DNS is somewhere else, choose Manual setup and copy the records into your provider.

4. Create an API key

Go to API keys → New key. Copy the secret immediately — it’s hashed at rest and won’t be shown again.

5. Send a test email

Terminal window
curl https://api.sushisend.com/v1/emails \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ssk_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "from": "you@yourdomain.com",
    "to": "test@example.com",
    "subject": "Hello from SushiSend",
    "text": "First send from a freshly verified domain."
  }'

The dashboard’s Event log will show the message being accepted, sent, and delivered as the SNS events flow back in.
