The FlipSend API

Email, SMS and fax. One API. All Australian.

Wire your systems straight into three channels with a clean REST API. Send at scale, track every message, manage opt-outs, all processed and stored in Australia, Privacy Act and Spam Act compliant by design.

Channels

Three channels, one integration.

Email

Bulk campaigns and transactional email, authenticated on your own sending domain.

SMS

Bulk and two-way SMS, with replies and opt-outs returned to your systems.

Fax

Fax for regulated document delivery, with per-recipient status on every page.

How it works

Built the way developers expect.

One endpoint sends to any channel. Authenticate, post a message, and read the result. The API does the work that regulated senders would otherwise build themselves, so opt-out handling, suppression and audit logging are not yours to maintain.

JSON over HTTPS

Token-based authentication with multi-factor support. No SDK required, though you can use one.

Your reference, echoed back

Every message carries a reference you set. It comes back in reports, so reconciling against your own records is exact.

Events surfaced back to you

Delivery, open and click events are returned as they happen, ready to feed your own reporting.

Versioned API surface

Integrations do not break underneath you. Changes ship behind a new version, on your schedule.

Use cases

What teams build with it.

  • Appointment, renewal and payment reminders triggered from existing systems
  • Statements, invoices and advice notices by email or fax
  • Two-way SMS for confirmations, replies and opt-outs
  • Event-driven alerts from your own platform
  • Delivery and engagement data pulled into your reporting stack
  • Opt-out and suppression management kept in sync with your database

Compliance

Compliance isn't bolted on.

All processing and storage happens in Australia. Unsubscribe handling meets Spam Act 2003 requirements automatically, and contact data aligns to the Privacy Act 1988. Contact data is isolated per organisation, so there is no cross-client access.

Processed and stored in Australia

All processing and storage happens in Australia. Your contact data does not leave the country.

Spam Act 2003, handled

Unsubscribe handling meets Spam Act 2003 requirements automatically, on every channel.

Isolated per organisation

Contact data aligns to the Privacy Act 1988 and is isolated per organisation. No cross-client access.

Australian-built. Australian-hosted. Australian-supported.
