Unisender Go 500K

Unisender Go is an embedded solution. It doesn’t manage email address lists or segmentation but seamlessly complements your CMS, CRM, CDP, or any other information system where contact lists are already stored. It provides cost-effective email sending and ensures deliverability.

Unisender Go 500K includes sending up to 500,000 emails per month for a monthly subscription fee of 17,500 rubles. Additional emails can be sent for an extra charge. You can also choose alternative options — Unisender Go 100K for a smaller monthly volume of emails or Unisender Go Start for test use without a subscription fee.

Advantages of Unisender Go:

• Privacy: Compliant with Russian Personal Data Law (FZ-152). Servers in Russia. More secure than typical ESPs, as it doesn’t store email texts and addresses.
• High deliverability: 99.9% of emails reach recipients.
• Support and consultation: 24×7 customer support for setup and deliverability advice.
• High speed: Up to 60 million emails per hour.
• Statistics: Visual or in CSV format, with no time limits when stored in Yandex.Cloud.
• Project Separation: Data for each project, including unsubscribes, templates, domains, and statistics, is independent. This feature is ideal for managing campaigns simultaneously for different clients.

How Unisender Go for Yandex.Cloud Works: Emails are pre-processed in a Yandex.Cloud virtual machine, sent through Unisender Go servers, and statistics is saved in Managed Clickhouse in Yandex.Cloud. Monitoring stats, logs, and support are accessible through the personal account at https://go.unisender.ru.

1. Obtain SSH keys for VM connection.
2. Create a Security Group, allowing traffic on specific ports:
   • on the “Incoming Traffic” tab, add permissive rules (a new rule for each port) for the following ports: 22, 25, 465, 587, 80, and 443.
   • on the “Outgoing Traffic” tab, allow all outgoing traffic (protocol: any, destination: 0.0.0.0/0, leave the port range blank).
3. Create a service account. Please make sure you have added a marketplace.meteringAgent role to the account. Remember its name, you will need it on step 4.
4. Create a VM from the public image, selecting “Unisender Go 500K” on the Cloud Marketplace tab. Please enter “unigouser” in the Login field and provide SSH open key.
   4.1. In the Security Group field, enter the name of the security group you created in step 2.
   4.2. In the Service Account field, enter the name of the service account you created in step 3.
   4.3. Enter metadata:
   • domain — Enter the domain name of your virtual machine, through which it should be accessible “from the world.”.
   • instance — Enter the name of the Unisender Go server where your account is registered. Either go1.unisender.ru or go2.unisender.ru.
   • smtp_domain — Optional field; by default, it takes the value of domain and adds the prefix smtp. If the domain is vm1.example.org, then if smtp_domain is not specified, the value smtp.vm1.example.org will be generated.
5. A few minutes after creating the VM, its IP address becomes available. It is recommended (but not mandatory) to make this IP address static. However, what must be done for sure is to add an A record with this IP to the DNS domain specified in the domain and smtp_domain fields in the previous step. If you did not specify smtp_domain in the previous step, you still need to add an A record for the smtp prefix.
6. Contact Unisender Go support and request the activation of the “Yandex.UniGo 500K” tariff.
7. By default, statistics are stored in the database on shared Unisender Go servers, but for increased confidentiality and scalability, you can configure statistics storage in ClickHouse on Yandex.Cloud using this guide.

Example of sending an email thru API after launching vm1.example.org virtual machine with “Unisender Go 500K”:

  --header 'X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY' \
