# Send email using Postmark
> Learn how to send an email using React Email and the Postmark Node.js SDK.
## 1. Install dependencies
Get the [react-email](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-email) package and the [Postmark Node.js SDK](https://www.npmjs.com/package/postmark).
```sh npm theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
npm install postmark react-email
```
```sh yarn theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
yarn add postmark react-email
```
```sh pnpm theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
pnpm add postmark react-email
```
## 2. Create an email using React
Start by building your email template in a `.jsx` or `.tsx` file.
```tsx email.tsx theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
import * as React from 'react';
import { Html, Button } from "react-email";
export function Email(props) {
const { url } = props;
return (
);
}
```
## 3. Convert to HTML and send email
Import the email template you just built, convert into an HTML string, and use the Postmark SDK to send it.
```tsx theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
import { render } from 'react-email';
import postmark from 'postmark';
import { Email } from './email';
const client = new postmark.ServerClient(process.env.POSTMARK_API_KEY);
const emailHtml = await render();
const options = {
From: 'you@example.com',
To: 'user@gmail.com',
Subject: 'hello world',
HtmlBody: emailHtml,
};
await client.sendEmail(options);
```
