Leveraging APRF Reports for Superior Transactional Email Deliverability

APRF reports offer granular insights into email authentication failures, complementing DMARC data. Learn how to interpret these reports to proactively identify and resolve deliverability issues, ensuring your critical transactional emails always reach the inbox.

Leveraging APRF Reports for Superior Transactional Email Deliverability

Section 1

Unlocking Granular Insights with APRF Reports

Authenticated Received Path Feedback (APRF) reports are a powerful, yet often underutilized, tool for email reputation monitoring. Unlike DMARC's aggregate reports, APRF provides detailed, per-message data on authentication failures (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and delivery paths. This granular view is crucial for understanding the root causes of transactional email deliverability issues and taking targeted action to improve your sender reputation.

Seamlessly Sending Emails and Monitoring Delivery with Piisend

Before diving deep into APRF analysis, it's essential to have a reliable transactional email API for sending your critical communications. Piisend's REST API send email endpoint ensures your OTP verification email, password reset email, and other vital messages are dispatched efficiently. Piisend also provides comprehensive delivery logs and webhook delivery events to track the journey of every email.

bash
1curl -X POST https://api.piisend.com/api/v1/emails \
2 -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
3 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
4 -d '{
5 "to": ["recipient@example.com"],
6 "subject": "Your Order Confirmation",
7 "html": "<p>Thank you for your order!</p>",
8 "text": "Thank you for your order!"
9 }'

Connecting APRF Insights to Piisend's Detailed Delivery Logs

APRF reports offer external validation of your email authentication, while Piisend's internal delivery logs provide real-time status updates and reasons for delivery failures. By correlating data from APRF email deliverability reports with Piisend's analytics, developers can pinpoint specific issues. For instance, if an APRF report indicates consistent SPF failures from a particular IP, you can cross-reference this with your Piisend logs to identify the sending source and rectify SPF DKIM DMARC domain verification settings. Using an Idempotency-Key ensures reliable idempotent email sends even when retrying.

python
1import requests
2import json

4api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
5headers = {
6 "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}",
