Send email using Mailtrap - React Email

1. Install dependencies

Get the react-email package and the Mailtrap Node.js SDK.

npm install mailtrap react-email

yarn add mailtrap react-email

pnpm add mailtrap react-email

bun add mailtrap react-email

2. Create an email using React

Start by building your email template in a .jsx or .tsx file.

email.tsx

import { Button, Html } from "react-email";

interface EmailProps {
  url: string;
}

export function Email({ url }: EmailProps) {
  return (
    <Html lang="en">
      <Button href={url}>Click me</Button>
    </Html>
  );
}

3. Convert to HTML and send email

Import the email template you just built, convert into an HTML string, and use the Mailtrap SDK to send it.

import { MailtrapClient } from "mailtrap";
import { render } from "react-email";
import { Email } from "./email";

const mailtrap = new MailtrapClient({
  token: process.env.MAILTRAP_TOKEN || "",
});

const emailHtml = await render(<Email url="https://example.com" />);

await mailtrap.send({
  from: { name: "Acme", email: "hello@example.com" },
  to: [{ email: "hello@example.com" }],
  subject: "Hello world",
  html: emailHtml,
});
