Create identity

Register a new sending identity. Returns the DNS records you need to publish (for DOMAIN) or a verification token (for EMAIL_ADDRESS).

POST

/api/v1/partner/email/identities

Request body

{
  "identity_type": "DOMAIN",
  "identity_value": "yourcompany.com"
}

Field	Type	Required	Notes
`identity_type`	string	yes	`DOMAIN` or `EMAIL_ADDRESS`
`identity_value`	string	yes	The domain (e.g. `yourcompany.com`) or full email address

Response

For DOMAIN:

{
  "success": true,
  "identity_type": "DOMAIN",
  "identity_value": "yourcompany.com",
  "status": "PENDING",
  "dns_records": {
    "spf":   {"type": "TXT", "hostname": "yourcompany.com",                  "value": "v=spf1 include:_spf.mail.splashifypro.com ~all"},
    "dkim":  {"type": "CNAME", "hostname": "splashify._domainkey.yourcompany.com", "value": "splashify._domainkey.mail.splashifypro.com"},
    "dmarc": {"type": "TXT", "hostname": "_dmarc.yourcompany.com",           "value": "v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:[email protected]"}
  }
}

Publish every record in dns_records on your DNS provider (SPF, DKIM and DMARC, plus dkim2 and return_path when present), then call /verify to confirm.

For EMAIL_ADDRESS:

{
  "success": true,
  "identity_type": "EMAIL_ADDRESS",
  "identity_value": "[email protected]",
  "status": "PENDING",
  "verification_token": "abc123..."
}

We email a confirmation link to the address. Click it (or POST the token via /verify) to mark the identity verified.

Common errors

Status	Code	Meaning
400	`INVALID_REQUEST`	Bad domain format / invalid email
400	`PUBLIC_DOMAIN_BLOCKED`	Public-mail-provider domain (gmail.com, yahoo.com, etc.) — not allowed
400	`IDENTITY_LIMIT_REACHED`	Sandbox account hit the 25-identity cap. The cap is lifted automatically once production access is approved — see below.

About the identity cap

Account state	Identity cap
Sandbox (default for new accounts)	25 identities (domains + email addresses combined)
Production access approved	Unlimited

Most accounts only need 1 – 5 identities even at full scale. Verifying a single domain (e.g. mail.yourcompany.com) authorizes every <anything>@mail.yourcompany.com to send, so you rarely need to register individual email addresses separately.

Lifting the cap

The cleanest path is production access — admin reviews your use case once, approves, and the identity cap is removed automatically along with the daily-send cap (200/day → 50,000/day) and peak-rate cap (1/sec → 14/sec). Submit at POST /partner/email/production-access or via the Production Access tab in Splashify Pro Email.

Working around the cap before production access

If you're still in sandbox and genuinely need to register a new identity but already have 25:

List what's registered — GET /partner/email/identities.
Delete one you no longer send from — DELETE /partner/email/identities/{type}/{value}.
The slot frees immediately; re-try the create call.

If your sandbox use case legitimately needs more than 25 identities (rare — usually means you're adding one EMAIL_ADDRESS per customer where verifying the parent domain would do), email [email protected] with the use case.
