Transactional emails play a crucial role in business operations because they ensure timely communication with customers. From OTP emails, password resets, or shipping updates, these emails add value to the customer's journey and improve your brand reputation.
Even if businesses face poor deliverability and performance issues, they tend to stick to the product they're already using. Despite these frustrations, many businesses hesitate to switch providers, fearing the complex and time-consuming transition process. We get it—allocating resources and time to make a change feels overwhelming.
That’s why ZeptoMail has introduced a 5-Minute Quick Transition feature, ensuring a smooth, easy, and stress-free move, so you can focus on what matters most—building your business.
Previously, switching transactional email services used to mean rewriting API code and adjusting multiple parameters. But with ZeptoMail, all it takes is a quick tweak to one line of your existing API code and adding an encryption key. ZeptoMail handles the rest—the entire mapping and addition of parameters to send emails—allowing you to make the transition in just five minutes!
How to transition to Zoho ZeptoMail in 5 minutes
You can follow the four-step transition process outlined below to make a quick transition to ZeptoMail.
1. Sign up for Zoho ZeptoMail
Sign up for Zoho ZeptoMail by providing the proper credentials. You will receive an email verification email.
2. Add and verify your domain
Now you can start adding your domain. You need to add DKIM and CNAME values in your DNS configuration to verify your domain. After verification, go to the dashboard to fill out the customer validation form. Then, your ZeptoMail account undergoes a thorough review by our team to confirm its authenticity.
NOTE: After signing up, your ZeptoMail account will have 1 free credit (i.e., 10,000 emails). Until we validate your account, you can use this credit with a daily cap of 100 emails. Once we validate your account, you can send unlimited emails without any daily limit.
3. Modify one line of your API code
This is the most important step of all. No complicated code structures. You'll be changing just one line of your API code to make the transition to Zoho ZeptoMail. You should tweak the following lines:
1. API URL → https://api.zeptomail.com/v1.0/xx/email, where "xx" should be replaced with the name of the service. For example, if you're transitioning from Postmark, then use "pm" in the field xx.
2. Authorization key → -H "Authorization:Zoho-enczapikey ***" \. To authorize your request, you'll need to add the send mail token in the header section.
The other fields will remain the same as your existing code.
4. Send transactional emails from Zoho ZeptoMail
You have now transitioned to Zoho ZeptoMail successfully, and you can start sending your transactional emails. But remember to complete your customer validation form.
NOTE: This process is a transition process and not a migration process. When you use the quick transition process, your previous provider won't transfer your data to ZeptoMail. Only email sending will switch from the old provider.
Why should you try the quick transition process?
1. It's developer-friendly
As a developer, transitioning to a new product can be daunting because of the complexity of code and the time-consuming nature of the process. We heard you loud and clear.
Previously, developers had to modify different parameters within a code when moving from another service to ZeptoMail by mapping all of the parameters to ZeptoMail. However, now you only need to modify one line of your API code and add the authorization key to make the transition to ZeptoMail. ZeptoMail will automatically update the remaining parameters and map them for your account.
ZeptoMail sounds like a dream come true for developers, doesn't it? It's easily accessible, it has a quick transition process, and it can test your emails right in the platform.
