Create Your First Contact

​

Welcome to SendX

This quick start guide will help you:

• Set up your SendX account
• Identify your first contact using the REST API
• Get ready to send your first email

Let’s dive in!

​

1. Set Up Your SendX Account

Start by creating a SendX account if you haven’t already:

Create Account →

After registering, log in and navigate to:

Settings → API & Webhooks → Copy your Team API Key

​

2. Identify a Contact

Use the identify method of the SendX REST API to start adding your contacts to the SendX App, this would allow you to send email to that contact later:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.sendx.io/api/v1/rest/contact/identify \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'X-Team-ApiKey: <YOUR_TEAM_API_KEY>' \
  --data '{
  "firstName": "John",
  "lastName": "Doe",
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "newEmail": "user@example.com",
  "company": "Acme Inc.",
  "tags": [
    "new",
    "cool"
  ],
  "customFields": {
    "favorite_color": "blue",
    "favorite_food": "pizza"
  }
}'

This would create a new contact with the following details:

First Name: John
Last Name: Doe
Email: user@example.com
New Email: user@example.com
Company: Acme Inc.
Tags: new, cool 
Custom Fields: favorite_color: blue, favorite_food: pizza

Once you have identified your contact, you can start sending emails to them.
