# Introduction

Marketing, transactional email, and customer journeys in one platform.

## Start here

Email Bump gives marketing, product, and support teams one place to create email, automate customer journeys, and understand what happens after each send.

1. [**Set up Email Bump**](/docs/quickstart) — Create an account and choose how you want to start sending.
2. [**Verify your domain**](/docs/domains) — Authenticate your sending domain and protect deliverability.
3. [**Send a campaign**](/docs/campaigns) — Choose an audience, create the email, and review the results.

## Explore the platform

Use the dashboard for day-to-day work, or connect your application through the transactional API.

- [**Email editor**](/docs/editor) — Write personal-looking messages or build fully designed emails.
- [**Campaigns**](/docs/campaigns) — Create, target, schedule, and measure marketing sends.
- [**Automated flows**](/docs/flows) — Respond to customer behavior with timed, connected actions.
- [**Contacts and segments**](/docs/contacts) — Keep customer profiles, consent, lists, and behavior connected.
- [**Transactional API**](/docs/transactional-api) — Send receipts, alerts, and product messages from your application.
- [**Analytics and activity**](/docs/analytics) — Understand delivery, opens, clicks, and customer activity.

## Send with the API

Transactional email uses a small HTTP API. Create an API key, authenticate with a bearer token, and send HTML, text, or a saved template.

```bash
curl -X POST https://emailbump.com/api/v1/emails \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ebk_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "from": "Acme <hello@acme.com>",
    "to": "customer@example.com",
    "subject": "Your order is on the way",
    "text": "We will send tracking details shortly."
  }'
```

> **Marketing and transactional email stay connected** — API sends appear in the transactional log with delivery and engagement events, while campaigns keep their own audience and performance reporting.
