# Single Sends

Twilio calls a one-time, non-automated email message delivered to a list or segment of your audience a *Single Send*. You can send such messages immediately or scheduled for future delivery. Single Sends can deliver promotional offers, engagement campaigns, newsletters, announcements, legal notices, or policy updates. The Single Sends API lets you [create][], [retrieve][], [update][], [delete][], [schedule][], and [search][] for Single Sends. Another API endpoint provides campaign [statistics][].
The [SendGrid Knowledge Center][] explains the latest updates to the Single Sends API.
