Numonic is an email delivery API built on AWS SES. It sits between your application and SES and adds what SES doesn’t give you natively: pre-flight validation, automatic suppression management, delivery event tracking, and a permanent record for every send.

The core idea

When you send an email through Numonic, you get back an ID. That ID is a durable reference — you can query the status of that send at any point in time, from queued all the way through delivered, bounced, or complained.
GET /api/v1/send/550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000/status
{
  "id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "status": "bounced",
  "from_address": "noreply@yourapp.com",
  "to_addresses": ["user@example.com"],
  "subject": "Your order is confirmed",
  "queued_at": "2026-04-09T10:30:00.000Z",
  "sent_at": "2026-04-09T10:30:02.000Z",
  "provider_message_id": "0100018b-1234-5678-90ab-cdef",
  "error_code": null,
  "error_message": null
}

What Numonic does

Before sending, every request goes through pre-flight evaluation:
  • Suppression check — suppressed recipients are filtered out before the send goes out. The rest still go. Suppressed addresses are listed in the response.
  • Domain verification — the from address must use a domain registered and verified in your Numonic account.
On send, Numonic queues the email and returns 202 Accepted immediately. The email is processed asynchronously. After sending, SES delivery events (deliveries, bounces, complaints) are ingested automatically. Hard bounces and spam complaints add addresses to your suppression list so you don’t have to manage that yourself.

What Numonic is not

Numonic is not a marketing email platform. There are no templates, campaigns, or contact lists. It’s infrastructure for developers who need reliable transactional email with full delivery visibility.

Authentication

Two forms of authentication are supported:
MethodHeaderUse case
API KeyX-API-Key: nmc_live_...Server-side sending
JWTAuthorization: Bearer ...Dashboard sessions, account management
Send endpoints accept both. Domain, API key management, events, and suppression endpoints require JWT.
