Getting Started

Learn how to integrate Veil Mail into your application and send your first email with automatic PII protection.

Quick Start

1

Create an account

Sign up for a free Veil Mail account to get your API keys.

Create account
2

Get your API key

Navigate to Settings → API Keys in your dashboard to create a new API key. You will get two types of keys:

  • Test keys (veil_test_...) - Use for development, emails are not actually sent
  • Live keys (veil_live_...) - Use for production, emails are sent to real recipients
3

Install the SDK (optional)

Install our official Node.js SDK for the best developer experience.

npm install @veilmail/sdk

Or use our REST API directly from any language.

4

Send your first email

Use the SDK or make a direct API call to send an email.

send-email.ts
import { VeilMail } from '@veilmail/sdk';

const client = new VeilMail('veil_test_xxxxx');

const email = await client.emails.send({
  from: 'hello@yourdomain.com',
  to: 'user@example.com',
  subject: 'Hello from Veil Mail!',
  html: '<h1>Welcome!</h1><p>Your first email with PII protection.</p>',
});

console.log('Email sent:', email.id);

Base URL

All API requests are made to the following base URL:

https://api.veilmail.com

Using the REST API

You can call the API directly using cURL or any HTTP client:

curl -X POST https://api.veilmail.com/v1/emails \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer veil_test_xxxxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "from": "hello@yourdomain.com",
    "to": "user@example.com",
    "subject": "Hello from Veil Mail!",
    "html": "<h1>Welcome!</h1>"
  }'

Automatic PII Protection

Every email sent through Veil Mail is automatically scanned for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) before delivery. This includes:

  • Social Security Numbers
  • Credit Card Numbers
  • Bank Account Numbers
  • Phone Numbers
  • Email Addresses
  • Medical Records

Configure your PII scanning preferences in the dashboard under Settings → Security.
