# Send Email message

`POST /api/v1/message/email`

The method is used for sending an Email message to a contact. A new contact is created if no contact with such email address exists.<br><br><strong>⚠️ Not recommended for OTP passwords.</strong> This method requires the full email HTML in the request body. Because of the content volume, such requests are not logged reliably, which makes delivery troubleshooting difficult.<br>Use the <a href="https://docs.esputnik.com/reference/sendextendedpreparedmessage-1">Send prepared message</a> method instead: the caller only passes substitution variables, the template is stored on our side, so the message is sent faster and all requests are logged correctly.
