Environments
Environments are isolated workspaces, each with its own API key, integrations, templates, rules and message history.
Use environments to separate test, staging and production, or to run several products from one account. A message sent with an environment’s key only ever sees that environment’s configuration.
How resolution works
When Messy needs an integration or rule, it looks at the environment first, then falls back to account-level configuration. So you can share one Amazon SES integration across the account, but override SMS to a different Twilio number in staging.
Non-production safety
- Set a channel’s default permission to block in test environments so stray sends never reach real inboxes.
- Environments can prepend a tag to email subjects, so a staging email is unmistakable in the inbox.
