Frequently Asked Questions
How fast are transactional sends delivered?+
Most messages are delivered in seconds. We use dedicated infrastructure to keep transactional email fast and reliable.
Can we integrate through SMTP and API?+
Yes. You can send through standard SMTP or direct API endpoints based on your existing stack.
Do we get visibility into delivery events?+
Yes. You can see the status of every email you sent, whether it was delivered, opened, bounced, or clicked.
Can Bento help improve our deliverability?+
Yes. You get built-in tools for reputation monitoring, email authentication, and list hygiene, plus guidance from our team.
Is there a separate cost for transactional email?+
No. Transactional sends are included in your plan with unlimited volume. You do not pay per email.
Can I use Bento for both marketing and transactional email?+
Yes, that is the whole point. One platform for product emails, marketing campaigns, and transactional messages. No separate tools to manage.
How do I manage transactional email templates?+
You can build and preview templates inside Bento before deploying them. Changes are versioned so you can roll back if something breaks.
What happens if a transactional email bounces?+
Hard bounces are automatically suppressed so you do not keep hitting a dead address. Bounce events are logged and available through webhooks so your app can react in real time.
What languages and SDKs do you support?+
We have official SDKs for Node.js, Ruby, Python, Go, and PHP. You can also send through standard SMTP from any language or framework.
Can I send from multiple domains?+
Yes. You can configure multiple sending domains in one account. Each domain gets its own authentication records and reputation tracking.
Is there a sandbox or test mode?+
Yes. You can send test emails and preview templates without affecting your production sending or reputation.
Does transactional email share reputation with marketing sends?+
Not if you do not want it to. You can isolate transactional and marketing traffic on separate IPs so one never affects the other.
