Integrations

Works with your stack.

Connect Maillayer to the tools you already use. Six built-in integrations — anything else fits the generic webhook.

Stripe

Auto-send branded invoice + receipt emails on Stripe events. PDF attached. Mercury-style design.

Trigger

Firebase Auth

Paste service-account JSON. Polls for new signups every 5–60 min. Fires welcome email + adds to contacts.

Sync

Supabase

Project URL + service-role key. Same flow as Firebase — polls auth users, runs your configured actions.

Sync

Google Sheets

Share a sheet with the service-account email. Column A = email, B = name. Welcome new rows.

Sync

Airtable

Personal Access Token + URL paste. Pulls every record, syncs to contacts, welcomes new emails.

Sync

Custom webhook

Generic POST endpoint with bearer auth. Map any event to four actions: send template, upsert contact, apply tags, enroll sequence.

Trigger

Great solution. I have been searching for a client to manage my newsletters and email updates for our users. This is a great client to layer on top. Given the complexities of using Amazon SES, Maillayer will definitely make our work easier.
