Key Features

Automatic Contact Management

  • Contact Upsert: Contacts are automatically created or updated before sending
  • Profile Enrichment: Template data is automatically merged with existing contact profile information
  • Data Consistency: Ensures contact information is always current

Template Data Enrichment

When you send a transactional email, Notifuse automatically:
  1. Looks up the contact by email address in your workspace
  2. Merges your API data with the existing contact profile
  3. Enriches the template with the complete contact information
  4. Sends the personalized email with all available data
Example: If your API sends {"order_id": "12345"} but the contact profile contains {"first_name": "John", "last_name": "Doe"}, the template will have access to both the order data and the contact’s full profile.

Email Delivery Options

Configure email routing with flexible options:
  • Reply-To: Set custom reply-to addresses
  • CC: Add carbon copy recipients
  • BCC: Include blind carbon copy recipients

Template Integration

Data Structure in Templates

Your templates have access to both API data and contact profile:
<!-- From API data -->
Hello! Your order #{{ order_id }} has been confirmed.

<!-- From contact profile (automatically enriched) -->
Dear {{ contact.first_name }} {{ contact.last_name }},

<!-- Combining both -->
We've sent your order #{{ order_id }} to {{ contact.email }}.
