The limitations of this are plenty – like the ability to report and measure opens, clicks, and bounces. Sparkpost built the perfect platform for this.
App-generated emails—often called transactional emails—are messages sent by your application or website in response to a user’s behavior. They play a critical role in acquiring and retaining users, and customers churn when transactional emails are delayed or lost in spam folders.

Want to send an email? It’s as simple as calling a mail function:
curl -XPOST \
https://api.sparkpost.com/api/v1/transmissions \
-H "Authorization:
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"options": {"sandbox": true}, "content": {"from": "[email protected]", "subject": "Oh hey", "text":"Testing SparkPost - the most awesomest email service in the world"}, "recipients": [{"address": "[email protected]"}]}'
