Transactional email, sent the way our brand looks.
This is the internal API Ferguson apps use to send enrolment, notification, and account mail. Staff issue keys from a private dashboard. Nothing secret lives on this page.

API keys are created and revoked by staff after sign-in. This public view does not generate, list, or reveal credentials.
For our own apps
Consuming projects call the API from server code. Browser bundles never receive a key.
How teams use it
A Ferguson app sends a POST to the mail endpoint with a Bearer token issued for that project. The body is a subject plus HTML or text — typically a React Email template such as enrolment received or a password reset.
Each consuming app keeps two server-only environment variables: the service URL and its own API key. Never expose a public notify route, allowlist destinations, and prefer React Email over raw HTML from clients. SMTP stays here; other projects never need a mailbox password.
