Transactional and bulk email, combined with SMS in one API
REST or SMTP, high deliverability, and a fallback to SMS when an email bounces — all from the same account as your other channels.
Email is the one channel most teams still run alone.
SMS, WhatsApp and chat live in one platform — email is the exception. A separate vendor, a separate dashboard, a separate bill, for a message that’s often the exact same one.

Email sits outside: its own dashboard, its own bill.

On SMSLocal, email is one more line on the same account: one vendor, one dashboard, one report.

Email authentication, explained
Three DNS records (SPF, DKIM and DMARC) tell inbox providers your mail is really yours. We walk you through adding them.
- Type
- TXT
- Host
- @ (yourbrand.com)
- Value
- v=spf1 include:_spf.sender.example ~all
Inbox providers cannot tell your mail from a forgery, so more of it is doubted.
