Documented steps

  1. POST https://api.resend.com/emails (the batch endpoint does not support attachments)
  2. Add attachments: array of objects with filename plus either content (Base64 string) or path (public HTTPS URL Resend fetches)
  3. Optional per-attachment fields: content_type (MIME type), content_id (max 128 chars) for inline CID image embedding (reference as <img src="cid:...">)
  4. Keep total email size — after Base64 encoding — under 40MB
  5. Include an Idempotency-Key header so a retried large upload isn't double-sent
  6. Docs: https://resend.com/docs/api-reference/emails/send-email and https://resend.com/docs/dashboard/emails/attachments
