Self-hosted Marketing Transactional

Plunk

Open-source unified email platform.

overview

Plunk unifies marketing, transactional, and broadcast email under one self-hostable open-source app. AGPL-3.0 license, EU hosting available. Developer-friendly API.

for teams building autonomous agents

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, Plunk covers webhook coverage, event stream, batch sending, and SDK breadth, and does not cover inbound parsing, idempotency keys, and multi-tenant support. Whether that gap matters depends on how central those are to the build.
