Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about sending HIPAA compliant email with Rails.
Yes. The paubox_rails gem adds Paubox to ActionMailer, so you send HIPAA compliant email the standard Rails way.
Add paubox_rails to your Gemfile, then configure your Paubox API credentials in an initializer. See the Rails quickstart for the full setup.
Configure ActionMailer to use Paubox, build your mailer as usual, and call deliver. Most teams send their first message in minutes. See the Rails quickstart for a complete example.
Yes. The paubox_rails gem is built on ActionMailer, so your existing mailers and views work without rewriting them.
Yes. Every plan includes a signed business associate agreement (BAA) and enforces transport layer security (TLS) 1.2 or higher by default, so messages are compliant out of the box.
Yes. A business associate agreement (BAA) comes with every plan, including the free tier, so you can send protected health information (PHI) from your Rails app without signing a separate agreement.
Yes. The underlying API supports single sends, bulk sends, and reusable dynamic templates. Store a personalized template once and render it at send time with per-recipient values.
You can send 300 emails per month for free, BAA included. Paid plans scale from there to millions of messages. See the pricing page for current tiers.
You still send through ActionMailer, but paubox_rails routes delivery through Paubox's HIPAA compliant infrastructure and includes a BAA. A self-managed SMTP server is not HIPAA compliant unless you build and certify that yourself.
