  "summary": "The Node.js welcome flow for a custom-domain email API involves choosing an API that offers custom-domain DKIM, a pre-send suppression check, and an event list that can be polled. This design is suitable for a healthtech marketplace seller alert, where delayed delivery status is acceptable. The decision is mainly about integration effort rather than the speed of delivery. The article highlights that the team will still be responsible for several controls after launch, such as credentials, domain gates, retry identity, callback ingress, poll cursors, retention, and vendor-specific telemetry. The article also emphasizes the importance of separating order and notification state machines and adhering to four invariants to ensure proper handling of suppressed or opted-out addresses, production mail verification, retry mechanisms, and avoiding double processing of polled events.",
