What is CAN-SPAM compliance for transactional emails?

CAN-SPAM compliance for transactional emails requires separating automated messages like receipts and security alerts from promotional content. This ensures authentication messages meet regulatory standards without triggering marketing filters or including unsolicited promotions.

How do I structure transactional email templates for security alerts?

Structure transactional email templates for security alerts with clear content hierarchy, accessibility notes, and dual HTML and plain-text versions. Include dedicated expiry times for OTPs and avoid sensitive codes in subject lines to maintain security and readability.

Do I need a dedicated sending subdomain for transactional email?

Can I use transactional email templates for shipping notifications and receipts?
