What is the hashmail widget?

The hashmail widget is a simple embeddable component that allows you to display full emails sent to your users wallet addresses right on your application front-end

When your users connect their wallet address, any emails sent by you to their wallet address is displayed in the widget. Emails are fully visible on the widget, so you can send images, links, - basically, any custom HTML

Users can also setup auto-forwarding to their personal email, telegram and discord. Any messages sent to their wallet address by you will also be delivered to their preferred channels


Do you require users need to sign up on hashmail?

NO

hashmail is designed to provide a smooth, frictionless communication experience for users. Users can view entire emails from you on the widget, and setup auto-forwarding from the widget itself
