How to configure your sending domain with Transactional Email

This page shows you how to configure your sending domain to start sending transactional emails.

Before you start

To complete the actions presented below, you must have:

  • A Scaleway account logged into the console
  • Owner status or IAM permissions allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
  • A domain name
  1. Click Transactional Email in the Domains & Web Hosting section of the console side menu. The Transactional Email overview page displays.
  2. Click Select a plan. The Transactional Email creation wizard displays.
  3. Select a plan. Two plans are available:
    • Essential - pay-as-you-go plan designed for occasional or low-volume email sending needs. This plan offers simplified management and a single webhook per domain.
    • Scale - fixed-price plan tailored for high-volume email sending. Includes 100K emails. Additional emails are charged. This plan includes a dedicated IP address and unlimited webhooks per domain. It also features advanced blocklist management, allowing for manual additions.
    Important

    When you select the Scale plan, keep in mind that:

    • A 30-day commitment is required to ensure a progressive and effective warm-up of the IP address.
    • 100K emails are included in the offer, with an additional cost of €0.20 for every 1000 additional emails
  4. Click Choose a plan and add a domain.
  5. Select whether to Use a Scaleway domain or Add a domain external to Scaleway. Follow the next steps according to your choice.
Tip

When you use a domain name registered with Scaleway Domains and DNS, you can benefit from DNS autoconfiguration. We can automatically configure SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX on your behalf so your domain name can be validated automatically and you can focus on sending emails and observing the reputation status of your domain.

  1. Choose your existing Scaleway domain from the drop-down list.

    Important

    If you do not have an active domain in your current Project, click Register a domain to register a domain with Scaleway Domains and DNS.

  2. Optionally, tick the checkbox Add a domain prefix to configure a subdomain for use with the Transactional Email service.

  3. Tick the checkbox Configure my Transactional Email DNS records automatically.

  4. Review the estimated monthly cost.

  5. Click Validate domain name.
