To send email you need :

• either to register a custom domain (paid)
• or authorize a sandbox recipient (see below).

Authorize a sandbox recipient

1. Go to Mailgun Domains.
2. Pick the sandbox domain (there should be only one in a free account).
3. Enter the email you would like to use for testing and hit Save recipient button.
4. Confirm the verification email in your email inbox.

Send Email

1. In administration, go to Email channel detail created in the previous step.
2. Copy the "Channel ID" in detail page for later use.
3. You will need your Amio account access_token. Go to Settings - API and copy your secret access token.
4. Send email to your user using Send Text Message API.

curl -X POST \
  https://api.amio.io/v1/messages \
  -H 'authorization: Bearer {{access_token}}' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "channel": {
    "id": "{{channel_id}}"
  },
  "contact": {
    "name": "Bill Crosby",
    "email": "[email protected]"
  },
  "content": {
    "type": "text",
    "payload": "Hello world!"
  },
  "metadata": {
     "email": {
        "subject": "Hello",
        "from": {
          "name": "Your Company",
          "email": "[email protected]"
        },
        "reply_to": {
           "name": "Customer Support",
           "email": "[email protected]"
        }
     }
  }
}
