Send emails with Base44 and Resend
Base44 is a platform for building apps with AI. You can add Resend in a Base44 project by asking the chat to add email sending with Resend.
Add the Resend integration in Base44
If starting a new app:
- Click Integration in the top nav.
- Search for Resend, select it, and choose Use This Integration.

If adding Resend to an existing app:
- Enable backend functions.
- Ask the chat: "Add the Resend email integration to my app. Prompt me to provide the API key and send a welcome email to new users."
Add your Resend API key
However you add Resend to your project, you'll need to add a Resend API key, which you can create in the Resend Dashboard. Do not share your API key with others or expose it in the browser or other client-side code.
Copy the API key and paste it into the RESEND_API_KEY field in Base44.

Add a custom domain to your Resend account
By default, you can only send emails to your own email address.
To send emails to other email addresses:
- Add a custom domain to your Resend account.
- Add the custom domain to the
fromfield in theresendfunction in the Base44 backend function (or ask the chat to update these fields).
Get more help adding a custom domain in Resend's documentation.
