Overview of Azure Communication Services email

  • מאמר

Email continues to be a key customer engagement channel globally for businesses. Businesses rely heavily on email communication for seamless business operations.

Azure Communication Services offers an intelligent communication platform to enable businesses to build engaging business-to-consumer (B2C) experiences. Azure Communication Services facilitates high-volume transactional, bulk, and marketing emails. It supports application-to-person (A2P) use cases.

Azure Communication Services can simplify the integration of the email capability in your applications by using production-ready email SDK options. It also supports SMTP commands.

Azure Communication Services email enables rich collaboration in communication modalities. It combines with SMS and other communication channels to build collaborative applications to help reach your customers in their preferred communication channel.

With Azure Communication Services, you can speed up your market entry with scalable and reliable email features by using your own SMTP domains. As with other communication channels, when you use Azure Communication Services to send email, you pay for only what you use.
