Prerequisites

• Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, or 3.8

Access Token

Obtain your access token from the Amply UI.

Install Package

pip install amply-mail

Domain Verification

Add domains you want to send from via the Verified Domains tab on your dashboard.

Any emails you attempt to send from an unverified domain will be rejected. Once verified, Amply immediately starts warming up your domain and IP reputation. This warmup process will take approximately one week before maximal deliverability has been reached.

Quick Start

The following is the minimum needed code to send a simple email. Use this example, and modify the to and from variables:

import amply
import os

amply.set_access_token(os.environ.get('AMPLY_ACCESS_TOKEN'))

try:
    response = amply.email.create({
        'to': '[email protected]',
        'from': '[email protected]',
        'subject': 'My first Amply email!',
        'text': 'This is easy',
        'html': '<strong>and fun :)</strong>'
    })
except Exception as e:
    if hasattr(e, 'errors'):
        print('Validation or resource not found error')
        print(e.errors)
    elif hasattr(e, 'text'):
        print('Generic API error: %s' %(e.text))
    else:
        raise e

Once you execute this code, you should have an email in the inbox of the recipient. You can check the status of your email in the UI from the Search, SQL, or Users page.
