Summary

Email plays a crucial role in authentication processes, but many enterprises face challenges with shared email services, such as poor deliverability and compliance issues. WorkOS has introduced a feature that allows customers to configure custom email providers like Amazon SES, Postmark, Resend, or SendGrid directly from the WorkOS Dashboard. This new functionality offers the control and visibility associated with using a dedicated provider while maintaining the ease of WorkOS-authored authentication flows. It addresses the need for improved deliverability, better observability of email delivery and bounce statuses, and compliance with enterprise requirements to use specific email infrastructures. Customers can configure their chosen provider by entering necessary credentials, with all data securely stored, and verify domains to ensure emails are sent using their verified domains. This setup enhances deliverability and compliance without compromising the developer experience, allowing enterprises to manage their email infrastructure effectively.
