Sending Email using API

yanki044 — Thu, 07 Nov 2019 12:29:51 GMT

Hi, I would like to know if it's possible to send Email using API?

Also, will it be updated in the log events in the CRM system?

Hi @YA ,

Sending email via the API can be achieved using our "Single Send API" or "SMTP API". In order to utilize these APIs you would require the transactional email add on.

The key difference between the two is that using the Single Send API allows you to create/build emails from within HubSpot, save them for use with the Single Send API and then programmatically trigger the send. You can also pass through data to inject into the body of the email. This data can live inside (and outside) of HubSpot.

The SMTP API on the other hand is used if you want to create/manage email outside of HubSpot and simply send via our SMTP server.

All emails sent via either API would show as emails on the contacts record. It would look similar to the below:

I hope this helps and happy to answer any other questions on this.

Jack

Hey @jackcoldrick - Would it work for custom objects too?

Usecase: we want to email custom records to the email logged in a custom property. Currently, HubSpot only allows sending emails to the contacts associated with the custom object, not the custom object record itself.

Thanks!
