Send Batch and Bulk Emails
Send batch and bulk emails with attachments.
You can send 'batch' and 'bulk' emails to recipients using a single API request.
In a 'batch' email request, you can send emails to one or more recipients in a single email request. The email recipients can see all the other recipient names to whom the email is sent. You can send different emails(different email body) to the recipients in the same email request.
In a 'bulk' email request, you can send emails to multiple recipients with the same content; however, the ‘to’ list recipients cannot see the other ‘to’ list recipients.
You can have the recipients list added to the 'cc' and the 'bcc' parameters in both batch and the bulk email requests.
In a batch email with ‘to’, ‘cc’, and ‘bcc’ list, or for every individual email,
- The recipients in the ‘to’ parameter list can see all the other recipients in the ‘to’ list and the ‘cc’ list.
- The recipients in the ‘cc’ parameter can see the ‘to’ list, ‘cc’ list.
- The recipients in the ‘bcc’ parameter can see the ‘to’, ‘cc’ list recipients but NOT the other ‘bcc’ list recipients.
In a bulk email with ‘to’, ‘cc’, and ‘bcc’ lists recipients,
- The recipients in the ‘to’ list can see only their address in the ‘to’ list, and all the recipients in the ‘cc’ list but not the other recipients in the ‘to’ list. For each recipient in the ‘to’ list, an email is sent to the ‘to’ recipient and all the ‘cc’, ‘bcc’ recipients.
- The recipients in the ‘cc’ list see one ‘to’ recipient and all the other ‘cc’ list recipients.
- The recipients in the ‘bcc’ list see on ‘to’ recipient and ‘cc’ list recipients but not the other ‘bcc’ list recipients.
Note:
You can add up to 50 email addresses each of the 'to', ‘cc’, and the ‘bcc’ parameters in an email API.
