Email for your app, set up with one command. Run npx postboi init and mail() sends: no DNS, no card, no other provider to sign up for. Receiving, lists, webhooks and forms are already in the box, and SMS, WhatsApp, push and chat are there when you want them.

02 One prompt

AI‑first.
Mail in a single prompt.

No account needed. Your agent provisions the project, writes the code and hands you a link; you claim it with one click. Push works the same way: init --push --agent. How it works →

YOU → YOUR AGENT

›add a contact form that emails me, use postboi

THAT'S THE WHOLE PROMPT

TRY IT ClaudeChatGPTCursor

YOUR AGENT · MOMENTS LATER

$ bunx postboi init --agent ✔ provisioned a Postboi project, no sign-in needed✔ POSTBOI_TOKEN written to .env✔ contact form wired, sending from acme@send.postboi.email✔ acme.com detected from your project Claim your project (one click makes it live):https://postboi.app/claim/x7f2…

03 The sorter

One API.
Five ways out.

Pick a route. The command that sets it up and the code that sends through it are the same shape every time. That's the whole idea.

04 The chain

Cheapest first.
Stops when it lands.

One call, five ways out. send() tries your channels in cost order and stops the moment one lands, so a message a free push notification can carry never costs you an SMS.

THE CALL

import { send } from "postboi"

await send({
  to: { push: subscription, sms: "+44 7788 223344" },
  channels: "cheapest",
  message: "Your code is 4291"
})

"cheapest" resolves to the order on the right, and every price on it is the real one.

The switches are whether this person can be reached on a channel at all: a push subscription, a phone number, a Slack webhook. Real accounts are always missing a few. Turn some off and run it again.

CH CHANNEL PROVIDER COST STATUS CAN REACH?

  3. 03 EMAIL POSTBOI 0.04P READY

  • 01

    Zero configuration

    No DNS records, no SDK per vendor, no dashboard safari. One command per channel and you're sending in under a minute.

  • 02

    Never locked in

    40+ email providers, plus Twilio, Meta, The SMS Works, Web Push, FCM, APNs, Huawei, Slack and friends. Swap any of them with one line of config. Your calls never change.

  • 03

    Cheapest channel first

    send() walks your channels in cost order and stops at the first success. Push is free and an SMS is 3p, so stopping early saves the whole message.

  • 04

    Development is free

    Texts and WhatsApp messages are logged locally, never sent. Email lands in a dev inbox. Nothing escapes your laptop, and nothing bills you.

  • 05

    Type-safe end to end

    Full TypeScript with one normalized error shape across every provider and every channel. A failure always tells you which leg broke.

  • 06

    SvelteKit one-liner

    A contact form is a single form action: export const actions = { default: mail }. Built for SvelteKit, works everywhere.

06 The handlers

Or bring
your own.

Postboi handles email by default. The library speaks every provider below through the same mail() call: bring your own keys, and swapping is a one-line config change.

×3 Three ways onto the table

  1. 01 MAIL IT

    TO · THE TEST DESK

    acme+test-x7f2ab@send.postboi.email

    Every run gets its own one-time address. Send from your app, your ESP, anywhere.

  2. 02 PASTE IT

    RAW HTML LANDS HERE

    No pipeline yet? The report doesn't care how the email got here.

  3. 03 SCRIPT IT

    import { mail } from "postboi"
    
    await mail({
      ...welcome_email,
      test: "super-email"
    })

    One option on the send you already ship. CI files every deploy under the same name.

08 The meter

A meter.
Not a wall.

Nothing breaks when you run past your included volume. Extra sends are metered. Start free, add a card only when you outgrow it. The other channels bill at your provider's cost; Postboi adds nothing on top, and never charges per contact. Email tests come with every paid plan, and prepaid packs top any plan up, and they never expire. Every plan in plain figures →
