Objective
This article helps you find the Twilio Email overview page in the Twilio Console and use it as your starting point: sending a test email to yourself, working through the recommended setup steps, and jumping to the tasks that matter most when you first begin sending.
Product
Twilio Email
Environment
Twilio Console
User Account Permission/Role(s) Required
You need to be signed in with an account role that has access to Twilio Email, such as Owner, Administrator, or Developer. Support and billing-focused roles do not have access to the Email pages. The overview page always lists the setup steps, but the action button on a step only appears if your role can open that destination.
Procedure
- In the Twilio Console, select Communications in the left sidebar.
- Select Email, then Overview.
- To send a test message without writing any code, select Try out Email and follow the prompts in the panel that opens.
- Under Start building, work through the setup steps in order:
- Authenticate your domain — select Authenticate domain to verify domain ownership and publish DNS records.
- Integrate and send mail — select View API docs to connect your application and start sending.
- Manage suppressions — select Configure suppressions to set up unsubscribe groups and suppression lists.
- Configure sending identity — select Manage IP addresses to provision dedicated IP addresses or shared pools.
- Under Resources & Code Samples, open a sample such as Send an Email or Schedule an Email to copy working code.
Additional Information
If your account is still on a trial, the overview page shows a short tour of Email features instead of the setup steps, along with the option to send a test email. Upgrading the account unlocks the full set of pages, including Email Logs.
