Introduction

Registered E‑mail API allows you to integrate sending registered e‑mails within your existing e‑mail flows. Registered e‑mails can be sent automatically and the status of each e‑mail can be monitored in real-time.

The recipients do not have to register themselves, log in or install specific software. They can retrieve or refuse the message and the attached documents from their own e‑mail environment, from any device at any time.

This API offers the following functionalities:

• Create new users.
• Send registered e-mails.

Definitions

iDIN

iDIN is a service offered by banks, which allows consumers to identify themselves with their bank's secure and reliable login methods.

A hash code is calculated for all submitted attachments to secure the authenticity of the message.

Registered E‑mail announcement

After sending the registered e‑mail, an announcement is sent to the recipient. The recipient can accept or reject the registered e‑mail. After acceptance, the recipient will receive the registered e‑mail in their own e‑mail environment.

Registered E-mail status summary

The service tracks where your registered e‑mail is in the sending and receiving process. You can check the status of the registered e‑mail in 3 different ways:

• Check the delivery e‑mail in your inbox.
• Check the online dashboard.
• Check through an XML interface (optional).
