About Resend
Resend provides an email API for sending transactional email (password resets, receipts, notifications) and marketing email from application code, with official SDKs for several languages and a dashboard for logs, analytics and domain verification.
It pairs with React Email, an open source library for building email templates as React components that render to HTML compatible with major email clients. Resend also supports webhooks, broadcast sending for newsletters, and audience management for marketing lists.
