Always install the latest SDK version. If the project already has a Resend SDK installed, check the version and upgrade if needed. + +| Language | Package | Min Version | +|----------|---------|-------------| +| Node.js | `resend` | >= 6.9.2 | +| Python | `resend` | >= 2.21.0 | +| Go | `resend-go/v3` | >= 3.1.0 | +| Ruby | `resend` | >= 1.0.0 | +| PHP | `resend/resend-php` | >= 1.1.0 | +| Rust | `resend-rs` | >= 0.20.0 | +| Java | `resend-java` | >= 4.11.0 | +| .NET | `Resend` | >= 0.2.1 | + +Install the `resend` npm package: `npm install resend` (or the equivalent for your language). For full sending docs, use the bundled `resend` skill. + +## Quick Start + +1. Ask the user for their email address - You need a real email address to send test emails to. Ask the user and wait for their response before proceeding. +2. Choose your security level - Decide how to validate incoming emails *before* any are processed +3. Set up receiving domain - Configure MX records for the user's custom domain (see Domain Setup section) +4. Create webhook endpoint - Handle `email.received` events with security built in from the start. The webhook endpoint MUST be a POST route. +5. Set up tunneling (local dev) - Use Tailscale Funnel (recommended) or ngrok. See [references/webhook-setup.md](references/webhook-setup.md) +6. Create webhook via API - Use the Resend Webhook API to register your endpoint programmatically. See [references/webhook-setup.md](references/webhook-setup.md) +7. Connect to agent - Pass validated emails to your AI agent for processing + +## Before You Start: Account & API Key Setup + +### First Question: New or Existing Resend Account? + +Ask your human: +- New account just for the agent? -> Simpler setup, full account access is fine +- Existing account with other projects? -> Use domain-scoped API keys for sandboxing + +### Creating API Keys Securely + +> Don't paste API keys in chat! They'll be in conversation history forever. + +Safer options: + +1. Environment file method: Human creates `.env` file directly with `RESEND_API_KEY=your_resend_api_key` +2. Password manager / secrets manager: Human stores key in 1Password, Vault, etc. +3. If key must be shared in chat: Human should rotate the key immediately after setup + +### Domain-Scoped API Keys (Recommended for Existing Accounts) + +If your human has an existing Resend account with other projects, create a domain-scoped API key: + +1. Verify the agent's domain first (Dashboard -> Domains -> Add Domain) +2. Create a scoped API key: Dashboard -> API Keys -> Create API Key -> "Sending access" -> select only the agent's domain +3. Result: Even if the key leaks, it can only send from one domain + +## Domain Setup + +### Option 1: Resend-Managed Domain (Recommended for Getting Started) + +Use your auto-generated address: `@.resend.app` + +No DNS configuration needed. Find your address in Dashboard -> Emails -> Receiving -> "Receiving address". + +### Option 2: Custom Domain + +The user must enable receiving in the Resend dashboard: Domains page -> toggle on "Enable Receiving". + +Then add an MX record: + +| Setting | Value | +|---------|-------| +| Type | MX | +| Host | Your domain or subdomain (e.g., `agent.example.com`) | +| Value | Provided in Resend dashboard | +| Priority | 10 (must be lowest number to take precedence) | + +Use a subdomain (e.g., `agent.example.com`) to avoid disrupting existing email services. + +Tip: Verify DNS propagation at [dns.email](https://dns.email). + +> DNS Propagation: MX record changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate globally, though often complete within a few hours. + +## Security Levels + +Choose your security level before setting up the webhook endpoint. An AI agent that processes emails without security is dangerous - anyone can email instructions that your agent will execute. The webhook code you write next should include your chosen security level from the start. + +Ask the user what level of security they want, and ensure that they understand what each level means. + +| Level | Name | When to Use | Trade-off | +|-------|------|-------------|-----------| +| 1 | Strict Allowlist | Most use cases - known, fixed set of senders | Maximum security, limited functionality | +| 2 | Domain Allowlist | Organization-wide access from trusted domains | More flexible, anyone at domain can interact | +| 3 | Content Filtering | Accept from anyone, filter unsafe patterns | Can receive from anyone, pattern matching not foolproof | +| 4 | Sandboxed Processing | Process all emails with restricted agent capabilities | Maximum flexibility, complex to implement | +| 5 | Human-in-the-Loop | Require human approval for untrusted actions | Maximum security, adds latency | + +For detailed implementation code for each level, see [references/security-levels.md](references/security-levels.md). + +### Level 1: Strict Allowlist (Recommended) + +Only process emails from explicitly approved addresses.

` rather than wrap a heading around the only content. + +### Every link must have discernible text (Serious) + +Every `` must contain text content that a screen reader can announce. The most common failure is a linked image with no alt text. + +A linked image is never decorative.

Treat it like the subject line, not the brand name. + +```html +<head> + <title>Your weekly product updates from Resend + +``` + +If the per-email title is hard to populate, a generic but specific fallback like `"Email from {Brand Name}"` still beats nothing. + +### Hit 4.5:1 color contrast, then check dark mode (Serious) + +- Body text and links: 4.5:1 minimum against the background (WCAG AA) +- Large text (>=18pt, or >=14pt bold): 3:1 minimum +- Never rely on color alone to convey meaning (error states, status badges) - pair it with text or an icon + +Verify with the [WebAIM Contrast Checker](https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/) or browser devtools. + +Dark mode.

Keep the rest intact. +- If the user asks to use media queries, inform them that most email clients don't support them and suggest a different approach. +- Never use template variables (like `{{name}}`) directly in TypeScript code. Instead, reference the underlying properties directly. If the user explicitly asks for `{{variableName}}`, place the mustache string only in PreviewProps, never in the component JSX: + +```typescript +const EmailTemplate = (props) => { + return ( + <h1>Hello, {props.variableName}!</h1> + ); +} + +EmailTemplate.PreviewProps = { + variableName: "{{variableName}}", +}; + +export default EmailTemplate; +``` + +- Never write the `{{variableName}}` pattern directly in the component structure. If the user insists, explain that this would make the template invalid. + +## Essential Components + +See [references/COMPONENTS.md](references/COMPONENTS.md) for complete component documentation. + +Core Structure: +- `Html` - Root wrapper with `lang` attribute +- `Head` - Meta elements, styles, fonts +- `Body` - Main content wrapper +- `Container` - Outermost centering wrapper (has built-in `max-width: 37.5em`). Use only once per email. +- `Section` - Interior content blocks (no built-in max-width). Use for grouping content inside `Container`. +- `Row` & `Column` - Multi-column layouts +- `Tailwind` - Enables Tailwind CSS utility classes + +Content: +- `Preview` - Inbox preview text, always first inside `<Body>` +- `Heading` - h1-h6 headings +- `Text` - Paragraphs +- `Button` - Styled link buttons (always include `box-border`) +- `Link` - Hyperlinks +- `Img` - Images (see Static Files section below) +- `Hr` - Horizontal dividers + +Specialized: +- `CodeBlock` - Syntax-highlighted code +- `CodeInline` - Inline code +- `Markdown` - Render markdown +- `Font` - Custom web fonts + +## Before Writing Code + +When a user requests an email template, ask clarifying questions FIRST if they haven't provided: + +1. Brand colors - Ask for primary brand color (hex code like #007bff) +2. Logo - Ask if they have a logo file and its format (PNG/JPG only - warn if SVG/WEBP) +3. Style preference - Professional, casual, or minimal tone +4. Production URL - Where will static assets be hosted in production? + +## Static Files and Images + +### Directory Structure + +Local images must be placed in the `static` folder inside your emails directory: + +``` +project/ ++-- emails/ +| +-- welcome.tsx +| +-- static/ <-- Images go here +| +-- logo.png +``` + +### Dev vs Production URLs + +Use this pattern for images that work in both dev preview and production: + +```tsx +const baseURL = process.env.NODE_ENV === "production" + ?

Do not hardcode `localhost:3000`. + +## Styling + +See [references/STYLING.md](references/STYLING.md) for comprehensive styling documentation including typography, layout patterns, dark mode, and brand consistency. + +### Key Rules + +- Use `Tailwind` with `pixelBasedPreset` (email clients don't support `rem`). Import `pixelBasedPreset` from `react-email`. +- Never use flexbox or grid - use `Row`/`Column` components or tables for layouts. +- Avoid CSS/Tailwind media queries (`sm:`, `md:`, `lg:`, `xl:`) - limited email client support. +- Never use theme selectors (`dark:`, `light:`) - not supported. +- Never use SVG or WEBP images - warn users about rendering issues. +- Always specify border type (`border-solid`, `border-dashed`, etc.) - email clients don't inherit it. +- For single-side borders, reset others first (`border-none border-l border-solid`). + +### Required Classes + +| Component | Required Class | Why | +|-----------|---------------|-----| +| `Button` | `box-border` | Prevents padding from overflowing the button width | +| `Hr` / any border | `border-solid` (or `border-dashed`, etc.) | Email clients don't inherit border type | +| Single-side borders | `border-none` + the side | Resets default borders on other sides | + +### Structure Notes +- Always define `<Head />` inside `<Tailwind>` when using Tailwind CSS +- `<Preview>` should always be the first element inside `<Body>` +- Only include props in `PreviewProps` that the component actually uses +- Use fixed width/height for known-size elements (logos, icons); responsive sizing (`w-full`, `h-auto`) for content images + +## Rendering + +### Convert to HTML + +```tsx +import { render } from 'react-email'; +import { WelcomeEmail } from './emails/welcome'; + +const html = await render( + <WelcomeEmail name="John" verificationUrl="https://example.com/verify" /> +); +``` + +### Convert to Plain Text + +```tsx +const text = await render(<WelcomeEmail name="John" verificationUrl="https://example.com/verify" />, { plainText: true }); +``` + +## Sending + +React Email supports sending with any email service provider.

Support RTL Languages + +For Arabic, Hebrew, etc.: + +```tsx +const isRTL = ['ar', 'he', 'fa'].includes(locale); + + +``` + +### 4. Fallback Values + +Provide fallback translations: + +```tsx +const t = createTranslator({ + messages: await import(`../messages/${locale}.json`).catch(() => + import('../messages/en.json') + ), + locale, + namespace: 'welcome-email' +}); +``` + +### 5. Test All Locales + +Test email rendering for each supported locale: + +```tsx +WelcomeEmail.PreviewProps = { + name: 'Test User', + locale: 'en' // Change to test different locales +} as WelcomeEmailProps; +``` + +### 6. Keep Keys Consistent + +Use the same translation keys across all locale files: + +```json +// [yes] Good +// en.json: { "cta": "Get Started" } +// es.json: { "cta": "Comenzar" } + +// [no] Bad +// en.json: { "button": "Get Started" } +// es.json: { "cta": "Comenzar" } +``` + +### 7. Handle Missing Translations + +Set up fallback behavior: + +```tsx +// With next-intl +const t = createTranslator({ + messages, + locale, + namespace: 'welcome-email', + onError: (error) => { + console.warn('Translation missing:', error); + } +}); +``` + +### 8. Subject Line Translation + +Don't forget to translate email subjects: + +```tsx +const t = createTranslator({...}); + +await resend.emails.send({ + from: 'Acme ', + to: [user.email], + subject: t('subject'), // [yes] Translated subject + react: +}); +``` + +### 9. Format Consistency + +Maintain consistent formatting across locales: +- Date formats (MM/DD/YYYY vs DD/MM/YYYY) +- Time formats (12h vs 24h) +- Number separators (1,234.56 vs 1.234,56) +- Currency symbols and placement ($100 vs 100$) + +Use `Intl` APIs for automatic locale-specific formatting. + +## Example: Complete Multi-locale Email + +```tsx +import { createTranslator } from 'next-intl'; +import { + Html, + Head, + Preview, + Body, + Container, + Section, + Heading, + Text, + Button, + Hr, + Tailwind, + pixelBasedPreset +} from 'react-email'; + +interface OrderConfirmationProps { + orderNumber: string; + total: number; + currency: string; + locale: string; + orderDate: Date; +} + +export default async function OrderConfirmation({ + orderNumber, + total, + currency, + locale, + orderDate +}: OrderConfirmationProps) { + const t = createTranslator({ + messages: await import(`../messages/${locale}.json`), + namespace: 'order-confirmation', + locale + }); + + const isRTL = ['ar', 'he'].includes(locale); + + const currencyFormatter = new Intl.NumberFormat(locale, { + style: 'currency', + currency + }); + + const dateFormatter = new Intl.DateTimeFormat(locale, { + year: 'numeric', + month: 'long', + day: 'numeric' + }); + + return ( + + + + + {t('preview')} + + + {t('title')} + + + {t('order-number')}: {orderNumber} + + + {t('order-date')}: {dateFormatter.format(orderDate)} + +

Follow these rules: + +### Unsupported Features + +- SVG/WEBP images - Use PNG or JPEG only +- Flexbox/Grid - Use `Row`/`Column` components or tables +- Media queries - `sm:`, `md:`, `lg:`, `xl:` prefixes don't work +- Theme selectors - `dark:`, `light:` prefixes don't work +- rem units - Use `pixelBasedPreset` for pixel conversion + +### Border Handling + +Always specify border style and reset other sides when needed: + +```tsx +// Correct - specify border style +
+ +// Correct - single side border with reset +
+ +// Incorrect - missing border style +

For local development, place in `emails/static/`. +- Custom fonts: Use the `Font` component with a web font URL (Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, or self-hosted). + +Example prompt for gathering brand info: +> "Before I create your email template, I need some brand information to ensure consistency.
