Auth0 supports Resend as a built-in email provider. Authentication flows depend on reliable delivery for verification codes, password resets, and other crucial emails.

​
Prerequisites

Before connecting Auth0 to Resend, you’ll need:
  1. A verified domain in your Resend dashboard. Auth0 will send from this domain.
  2. An API key from your Resend dashboard.

​
Set up the Resend provider in Auth0

In the Auth0 Dashboard, go to Branding > Email Provider, toggle on Use my own email provider, and select Resend. Enter your API key and set the From address to match your verified domain. Click Save to apply the changes. Auth0 Resend Integration To test that it’s working, click Send Test Email. The email will appear in your Resend dashboard and email inbox.
For the full setup guide, see the Auth0 documentation.

​
Send emails with Auth0 Actions (optional)

For more control over delivery, like per-organization sender addresses, conditional routing, or custom logic, you can use an Auth0 Action instead. In the Auth0 Dashboard, go to Actions > Library, create a new Custom action. Auth0 Custom Action To enable Resend in the Action:
  1. Add resend as a dependency. Auth0 Custom Action
  2. Store your API key as a secret named RESEND_API_KEY. Auth0 Custom Action
Here’s a working example that sends a security alert on first login: 
const { Resend } = require('resend');

exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {
  const resend = new Resend(event.secrets.RESEND_API_KEY);

  if (event.stats.logins_count === 1) {
    await resend.emails.send({
      from: 'Security <security@example.com>',
      to: event.user.email,
      subject: 'New login detected',
      html: `<p>Hi ${event.user.name}, a new login was detected from ${event.request.ip}.</p>`,
    });
  }
};
Deploy it by adding the action to the Post Login trigger under Actions > Triggers.

​
Customize Email Templates

To customize the email templates that Auth0 sends out, go to Branding > Email Templates in the Auth0 Dashboard and make your changes to the existing templates. For more advanced templating, consider either React Email or Resend Templates.

​
React Email

Auth0 email templates use Liquid syntax for dynamic variables like {{ user.email }} and {{ url }}. You can author templates with React Email and inject Liquid variables before pasting the rendered HTML into Auth0. Define your Liquid variables as constants to avoid HTML encoding issues during rendering: 
export const VARIABLES = {
  url: '{{ url }}',
  user: { email: '{{ user.email }}' },
  application: { name: '{{ application.name }}' },
};
Use them in your React Email components, render to static HTML, and paste the output into Branding > Email Templates in Auth0.

​
Resend Templates

To use Resend templates with Auth0, define your templates in the Resend Dashboard and reference them in your Custom OAuth Actions. For instance, the following code uses a Resend template with the id of login-detected that contains two variables (first_name and ip_address) to be passed in the call. Learn more about Resend templates. 
const { Resend } = require('resend');

exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {
  const resend = new Resend(event.secrets.RESEND_API_KEY);

  if (event.stats.logins_count === 1) {
    await resend.emails.send({
      from: 'Security <security@example.com>',
      to: event.user.email,
      template: {
        id: 'login-detected',
        variables: {
          first_name: event.user.name,
          ip_address: event.request.ip,
        },
      },
    });
  }
};

​
Debugging Email Delivery

When something goes wrong, it’s helpful to see detailed logs across both sides:
  • Auth0 Logs (Monitoring > Logs) shows send events and any errors raised from the Resend integration.
  • Resend Logs show the delivery side: accepted, delivered, opened, bounced.
Together, you get end-to-end visibility across the entire delivery chain.
