Operations

Domain Tracking

Mailgun offers tracking for clicks, unsubscribes, and opens, with optional HTTPS protocol support on tracking URLs. To enable HTTPS, Mailgun uses Let’s Encrypt with HTTP-01 challenges through your existing tracking CNAME record to issue a TLS certificate. This setup also includes support for HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for enhanced security.

Operations

Webhooks

Webhooks API manages domain's webhooks. You can create, access and delete webhooks programmatically.

Operations

Metrics

Mailgun collects many different events and generates event metrics which are available in your Control Panel. This data is also available via our analytics metrics API endpoint.

Operations

Logs

Mailgun keeps track of every inbound and outbound message event and stores this log data. This data can be queried and filtered to provide insights into the health of your email infrastructure.

Operations

Tags New

Mailgun allows you to tag your email with unique identifiers. Tags are visible via our analytics tags API endpoint.

Operations

Stats

Mailgun collects many different events and generates event statistics which are available in your Control Panel. This data is also available via our stats API endpoint.

WARNING: This API is deprecated in favor of our Metrics API.

Operations

Tags

Operations

Unsubscribe

Unsubscribe list stores email addresses of recipients who unsubscribed from your mailings by clicking a Mailgun generated unsubscribe link.

Operations

Complaints

Email addresses of recipients who marked your messages as a spam (for ESPs that support FBL).

Operations

Bounces

Bounces - Bounce list stores events of delivery failures due to permanent recipient mailbox errors such as non-existent mailbox. Soft bounces (for example, mailbox is full) and other failures (for example, ESP rejects an email because it thinks it is spam) are not added to the list.

Operations

Allowlist

The allowlist API provides the ability to allowlist specific addresses from being added to bounce list. You can allowlist by domain name (i.e example.com) or by specific address (i.e. alice@example.com). Mailgun doesn’t add an address to bounce list if the address is allowlisted. This API is very useful if you test against your private services and don’t want to constantly clean up bounce lists
