Before Getting Started
To use any Infobip product, you need to sign up for a free account. See: Create an Account for more details.
Free trial
Once you create an account, you are automatically enrolled to a free trial until you run out of allocated free credits.
Here are some email-specific details to keep in mind while on the free trial:
- You can use a default email domain, selfserviceib.com that has been preset and will appear automatically once you start creating your communication. Note that once you upgrade the account to the paying one, you'll need to set up your own domain.
Upgrade to a paying account
At any time, you can decide to finish the free trial and upgrade your account. Use the UPGRADE OPTIONS button on the Home page to view available billing options.
Set up a domain
Once you upgrade your account to the paying one, you'll need to set up a domain or subdomain with which you will be sending emails. That domain will be the address which appears in the From field for your recipients. If you have an existing domain, it is recommended to use a subdomain. This is to minimize the potential impact other traffic might have on your main domain. Note that you will still be able to send emails as the main domain when using a subdomain.
If you do not have the domain set up yet, contact your hosting provider to supply it for you, then move on to the next section.
