Unified email, SMS, and push API
Send on every channel from one Messaging service and SDK. Use createEmail, createSms, and createPush for transactional mail, OTP codes, and mobile alerts without wiring three separate vendor integrations.

const messaging = new Messaging(client)

Topics for group and broadcast messaging
Create topics from the Console Topics tab and subscribe targets for newsletters, product announcements, and security alerts. Broadcast to every subscriber in a topic or combine topics with direct targets when you need finer control.
Bring your own providers
Connect the email, SMS, and push providers you already use. Add credentials once in the Console, pick a vendor per channel, and route every message through the stack you operate.
Emails
Send receipts, digests, and transactional mail through SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, SMTP, and other email providers.
SMS
Send OTP codes, delivery updates, and alerts outside your app through Twilio, Vonage, MSG91, Telesign, Textmagic, and other SMS vendors.
Push notifications
Reach users instantly on iOS, Android, and web with APNS and FCM.
Chat
Coming soonConnect Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, and other chat surfaces for team and user notifications.
In app notifications
Coming soonSend realtime alerts to signed-in users without leaving your application experience.
Targets linked to Auth users
Each user can have email, phone, and push device targets registered to your project. Inspect and manage them from the Targets tab on user detail in Auth, then subscribe those targets to topics or address them directly in a message.

Targets are created when users verify email or phone in Auth, or when your app registers push device tokens.
Compose and schedule messages
Draft email, SMS, and push from the Console Messages tab with channel-specific fields, topic and target selection, and delivery logs. Schedule sends for later or fire transactional flows such as OTP verification and account alerts from Functions or your backend.

Tools built for developers and agents_
API-first by design. Use the Console, Realtime, SDKs, CLI, Terraform, MCP, and agent skills on the same project.
Developer and agent experience
A typical integration in TypeScript.
import { Client, Messaging, ID } from 'appwrite';
const client = new Client() .setEndpoint('https://<REGION>.cloud.appwrite.io/v1') .setProject('<PROJECT_ID>');
const messaging = new Messaging(client);
await messaging.createEmail({ messageId: ID.unique(), subject: 'Your verification code', content: '<p>Your code is 482910. It expires in 10 minutes.</p>', topics: [], users: ['<USER_ID>'],});Everything is an API
REST, GraphQL, and SDKs for every service. Automate and integrate without console-only workflows.
Console
Manage every service in your project from a unified Console. Optimized keyboard access and a Command Center keep you moving fast.
Realtime
Subscribe to live events and react to changes as they happen.

No. You connect your own provider credentials once in the Console, then send on every channel through one Messaging API and SDK. Pick a vendor per channel (Resend for email, Twilio for SMS, FCM for push, and so on) without maintaining three separate integrations or delivery logs.
Targets are the ways a user can be reached: email addresses, phone numbers, and push device tokens. Subscribe targets to a topic to broadcast the same message to every subscriber, or address specific users and targets when you need private, one-to-one delivery. Topics fit newsletters and announcements; sensitive content like chat should go to individual targets.
Email: Resend, SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, and SMTP. SMS: Twilio, Vonage, MSG91, Telesign, and Textmagic. Push: APNS and FCM. Configure multiple providers per channel and choose which one to use when sending. Discord and Slack chat integrations are coming soon.
Each Auth user can have multiple targets registered to your project. Verified emails from email/password, magic URL, and email OTP sign-up create email targets automatically. Verified phone numbers from SMS OTP sign-up create SMS targets. Push targets are added from your client app after the user grants notification permission. Inspect and manage targets from the Targets tab on user detail in Auth.
Yes. Compose email, SMS, and push from the Console Messages tab or call createEmail, createSms, and createPush from the Server SDK. Send immediately, save as a draft, or pass scheduledAt for later delivery. Every message appears in the Messages tab with status (draft, scheduled, processing, failed, or success) and delivery timestamps.
Yes. Use the Server SDK from Functions, your API server, or any trusted backend with a project API key. This is the standard pattern for transactional flows such as OTP verification, password reset, order receipts, and inventory alerts triggered by platform events or custom logic.
Push and SMS work well for time-sensitive alerts users see within minutes. Email suits rich HTML content like receipts, newsletters, and promotions. SMS reaches phones even without internet. Push drives re-engagement with deep links back into your app. Most production apps combine all three depending on urgency and content.
