Documented steps

  1. Create an API key in the Resend dashboard (keys are prefixed re_ and shown once); send from a domain you have verified in Resend
  2. POST https://api.resend.com/emails with headers 'Authorization: Bearer re_...' and 'Content-Type: application/json'
  3. Body requires: from (supports 'Name <email@yourdomain.com>' format), to (string or array, max 50 addresses), subject
  4. Provide html and/or text for the body; if text is omitted Resend auto-generates it from the html
  5. Optional: cc, bcc, reply_to (string or array), headers (custom email headers), tags (array of {name,value}), template ({id, variables})
  6. On 200 the response is { "id": "<email-uuid>" } — store it for GET /emails/{id} status lookups and webhook correlation
