Quick start

1. Get an API key. Sign up for a free Sandbox account to get a Sandbox API Key for testing. The sandbox uses the same environment but limits sending to your domain.
2. Try the API. Follow the Request Signature by Email tutorial to create and send your first document using Postman -- no code required.
3. Build your integration. Walk through Create and Send Your First Document to build a complete workflow in ~15 minutes.
