MailerSend
Modern transactional API with a clean UI.
MailerSend was built by the same team behind MailerLite, focused on transactional. Drag-and-drop templates plus a code-first API cover both designer and engineer flows. Pricing is competitive at small to mid volume.
An agent stack treats email as a two-way primitive. Inbound has to arrive as structured JSON a tool call can consume, sends have to be safe to retry when a model loop repeats itself, and every action needs an audit trail. A provider without inbound parsing only solves half the problem.
Against inbound parsing into tool calls and model-generated sends that must not duplicate, MailerSend covers inbound parsing, webhook coverage, event stream, batch sending, SDK breadth, and multi-tenant support, and does not cover idempotency keys and operating track record. Whether that gap matters depends on how central those are to the build.
