Frequently asked questions

Need more help? Let’s talk!

Why is Nylas better than building email, calendar, and contacts integrations ourselves?

Choosing to build with Nylas instead of building in-house significantly reduces development and maintenance time, improving resource allocation and operational efficiency. Nylas’ developer-friendly APIs enable you to connect to every major service provider (Google, Microsoft, IMAP, and more); allowing engineers to easily build and maintain email and calendar functionalities, which are essential for facilitating communication and scheduling within educational environments. 

By leveraging Nylas, EdTech platforms can focus their resources on enhancing core educational features and improving user experiences, resulting in a more competitive and effective learning platform.

When would I use Nylas vs. a transactional email service like Sendgrid?

When building tools for education, it’s super important to pick the right way for everyone to talk to each other. It’s like choosing between Nylas and SendGrid (which is now a part of Twilio) based on what you need your app to do. If you want teachers and students to easily check and send emails without leaving your educational app, Nylas is your go-to. It’s like having a mini email app inside your bigger app, making it easy for everyone to stay on top of their messages without getting distracted.

On the other hand, if you’re looking to send lots of emails at once, like newsletters, reminders for payments, or updates about your app, then Twilio is probably what you need.

What use cases can Nylas power within our applications for our users (students, teachers, tutors, etc.)?

Nylas empowers students and educators with real-time calendar availability, automated notifications and reminders, and centralized email communication, enhancing productivity and user engagement in your EdTech platform. 

How can Nylas empower the AI features within our product?

Nylas enhances AI features in your product by streamlining data extraction from emails and calendars, ensuring efficient, relevant data retrieval and secure handling with robust compliance standards. This aids in refining AI elements like chatbots, making them more human-like and efficient, thus freeing up educators for more complex tasks in your edtech platform.
