# Welcome to Lekalao

> Lists, campaigns, automations and transactional e-mails, on your own sending provider.

Lekalao is an e-mail platform for teams who want to write to their subscribers without depending on a tool they cannot see into. You keep your contacts, you choose the provider that sends (Amazon SES, Postmark, Mailgun, SendGrid, Brevo, Resend or plain SMTP), and Lekalao does the rest: lawful subscriptions, sending at the right pace, tracking, bounces, statistics.

    Lists with double opt-in, subscribers enriched with attributes and
    tags, segments built from conditions (tags, attributes, language,

    suppression list per team, and subscription forms to put on your own
    site.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Content" icon="pen-nib">
    Four editors (visual blocks, Markdown, HTML, MJML), templates with
    editable areas, personalisation variables with conditions and loops, a

    every language.

  <Accordion title="Campaigns" icon="paper-plane">
    Sending now or later, A/B tests of up to five versions, spreading the
