Resend was built by the same team that created React Email, which makes this our recommendation to send emails.

​
1. Install dependencies

Get the Resend Node.js SDK.

npm install resend

​
2. Create an email using React

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

email.jsx
import * as React from 'react';
import { Html } from '@react-email/html';
import { Button } from '@react-email/button';

export function Email(props) {
  const { url } = props;

  return (
    <Html lang="en">
      <Button href={url}>Click me</Button>
    </Html>
  );
}

export default Email;

​
3. Send email

When integrating with other services, you need to convert your React template into HTML before sending. Resend takes care of that for you.

Import the email template you just built and use the Resend SDK to send it.

index.jsx
import { Resend } from 'resend';
import { Email } from './email';

const resend = new Resend('re_123456789');

resend.sendEmail({
  from: 'you@example.com',
  to: 'user@gmail.com',
  subject: 'hello world',
  react: <Email firstName="John" product="MyApp" />,
});
