Waypoint

Email API for sending transactional emails with a visual template builder

Visit Waypoint

Waypoint is an email API for sending transactional emails from software products. It addresses the handoffs that occur when emails require real data and logic, allowing developers to send JSON payloads through API endpoints while designers build and edit templates visually without code.

The service includes sandbox API endpoints for testing, webhooks, custom domain authentication with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, template layouts, attachments, unsubscribe links, and activity logs with filtering and search. Emails are sent through AWS infrastructure, and the platform supports an open-source email builder.

Waypoint is intended for collaborative product teams sending transactional emails, including developers, product managers, and designers. It is packaged with a free plan limited to test emails, paid plans based on monthly email volume with usage-based overages, unlimited teammates, and custom or enterprise plans available on request.
