Use case

Send email without managing SES and DNS

AscendKit runs email on AWS SES and handles the painful setup for you: domain verification, DKIM and SPF, DNS provider detection, and Cloudflare DNS automation. You author a versioned template and send it; the deliverability plumbing every startup defers is already done.

How it works

  1. 1. Verify your domain
    AscendKit guides domain verification and detects your DNS provider, automating record creation where supported.
  2. 2. Author a template
    Build a versioned email template with variable placeholders, in both HTML and plain text, in the portal.
  3. 3. Send and track
    Send from the SDK with SES delivery, then track opens, clicks, and unsubscribes on the user record.

FAQ

Do I need to configure DKIM and SPF myself?

No. AscendKit handles domain verification, DKIM, and SPF, and can automate the DNS records, including Cloudflare, so you do not hand-edit deliverability settings.

Is email delivery on a shared IP or my own domain?

Email is sent from your verified domain on AWS SES, so it authenticates as you rather than a generic shared sender.

Start with one API key

Auth, email, surveys, and journeys share one user record, so you ship this without stitching vendors together.
