Learn how to send your first email using Next.js and the Resend Node.js SDK.
Prerequisites
To get the most out of this guide, you’ll need to:
1. Install
Get the Resend Node.js SDK.
npm install resend
2. Create an email template
Start by creating your email template on components/email-template.tsx.
components/email-template.tsx
import * as React from "react";
interface EmailTemplateProps {
firstName: string;
}
export const EmailTemplate: React.FC<Readonly<EmailTemplateProps>> = ({
firstName,
}) => (
<div>
<h1>Welcome, {firstName}!</h1>
</div>
);
3. Send email using React
Create an API file under pages/api/send.ts if you’re using the Pages Router or create a route file under app/api/send/route.ts if you’re using the App Router.
Import the React email template and send an email using the react parameter.
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next';
import { EmailTemplate } from '../../components/EmailTemplate';
import { Resend } from 'resend';
const resend = new Resend(process.env.RESEND_API_KEY);
export default async (req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) => {
try {
const data = await resend.sendEmail({
from: 'onboarding@resend.dev',
to: 'delivered@resend.dev',
subject: "Hello world",
html: "<strong>It works!</strong>",
react: EmailTemplate({ firstName: "John" }),
});
res.status(200).json(data);
}
catch (error) {
res.status(400).json(error);
}
}
