Resend Email & React Email Setup

Quick Guide: Resend email API with React Email templates. Use the react prop to pass components directly to resend.emails.send() -- no manual render() needed. Keep email templates in a dedicated package for monorepo separation. Verify your sending domain before production. Use @react-email/render (not @react-email/components) if you need to render to HTML strings manually.

CRITICAL: Before Using This Skill

(You MUST use RESEND_API_KEY environment variable -- NEVER hardcode API keys)

(You MUST verify your sending domain in Resend dashboard before production -- unverified domains only send to your own email)

(You MUST use @react-email/components for email UI components and @react-email/render for HTML rendering -- these are separate packages)

(You MUST use resend.emails.send({ react: MyTemplate(props) }) as the primary sending pattern -- manual render() to HTML is only needed for non-Resend senders)
