## Prerequisites
Before you start, you'll need:
* A Resend [API key](/create-an-api-key)
* A [verified domain](/add-a-domain)

## 1. Install
```bash dotnet CLI theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
dotnet add package Resend
```
```bash Visual Studio (Package Manager Console) theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
PM> Install-Package Resend
```
## 2. Send emails using HTML
In the startup of your application, configure the DI container as follows:
```csharp theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
using Resend;
builder.Services.AddOptions();
builder.Services.AddHttpClient();
builder.Services.Configure( o =>
{
o.ApiToken = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable( "RESEND_APITOKEN" )!;
} );
builder.Services.AddTransient();
```
Send an email using the injected `IResend` instance:
```csharp theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
using Resend;
public class FeatureImplementation
{
private readonly IResend _resend;
public FeatureImplementation( IResend resend )
{
_resend = resend;
}
public Task Execute()
{
var message = new EmailMessage();
message.From = "Acme ";
message.To.Add( "delivered@resend.dev" );
message.Subject = "hello world";
message.HtmlBody = "it works!";
await _resend.EmailSendAsync( message );
}
}
```
