Set Up Your App

Create your first app in MailJawn. An app is the container for all your subscribers, emails, and campaigns — think of it as one product or newsletter.

Create an App

1. From the dashboard, click New App.

2. Fill in the form:

   Field	Description	Example
   Project Name	Your app or newsletter name	ClipDish
   Sender Name	The "From" name recipients see	ClipDish Team
   Sender Email	The "From" address for outgoing emails	hello@clipdish.com

3. Click Create.

You'll land on your new app's overview page.

Tip

You can change the sender name and email later in your app's settings. You can also configure a separate reply-to address, timezone, and UTM tracking defaults.

Note Your App ID

Your app has a unique UUID shown in the URL bar when viewing it — something like 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000. You'll need this if you integrate the Swift SDK.

Create an API Key

If you plan to use the Swift SDK or REST API, create an API key now:

1. Go to Account > API Keys.
2. Click Create API Key.
3. Give it a descriptive name (e.g. Production SDK).
4. Choose the SDK scope bundle for mobile app integration.
5. Copy the key immediately — it's only shown once.

Your API key starts with mj_ and is used to authenticate SDK and API requests.

For more on API keys and scope bundles, see API Keys.

Next

Continue to Install the Swift SDK, or skip ahead to Import Subscribers if you don't have an Xcode project.
