## Prerequisites Before you start, you'll need: - A Resend [API key](/guides/get-started-create-an-api-key) - A [verified domain](/guides/get-started-add-a-domain) ## Guide :::::steps ::::step{title="Install"} Get the Resend Ruby SDK. :::code-group ```bash RubyGems theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}} gem install resend ``` ```bash Gemfile theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}} gem 'resend' ``` ::: :::: :::step{title="Send email using Rails Action Mailer"} This gem can be used as an Action Mailer delivery method. First, let's update or create your mailer initializer file with your Resend API Key. ```rb config/initializers/mailer.rb theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}} Resend.api_key = "re_xxxxxxxxx" ``` Add these lines of code into your environment config file. ```rb config/environments/environment.rb theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}} config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :resend ``` Then create a `UserMailer` class definition. ```rb app/mailers/user_mailer.rb theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}} class UserMailer < ApplicationMailer default from: 'Acme ' # this domain must be verified with Resend def welcome_email @user = params[:user] @url = 'http://example.com/login' mail(to: ["delivered@resend.dev"], subject: 'hello world') end end ``` And create your ERB email template. ```html app/views/user_mailer/welcome_email.html.erb theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}

``` Initialize your `UserMailer` class. This returns an `ActionMailer::MessageDelivery` instance. ```rb theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}} u = User.new name: "derich" mailer = UserMailer.with(user: u).welcome_email # => #, @processed_mailer=...> ``` Finally, you can now send emails using the `deliver_now!` method: ```rb theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}} mailer.deliver_now! # => {:id=>"a193c81e-9ac5-4708-a569-5caf14220539", :from=>....} ``` ::: ::::: ## Examples ::::card-grid :::card{title="Rails App" href="https://github.com/resend/resend-examples/tree/main/ruby-resend-examples/rails_app" icon="arrow-up-right-from-square"} Full Rails web application ::: :::card{title="Basic Send" href="https://github.com/resend/resend-examples/blob/main/ruby-resend-examples/examples/basic_send.rb" icon="arrow-up-right-from-square"} Basic email sending ::: :::card{title="Attachments" href="https://github.com/resend/resend-examples/blob/main/ruby-resend-examples/examples/with_attachments.rb" icon="arrow-up-right-from-square"} Send emails with file attachments ::: :::card{title="Templates" href="https://github.com/resend/resend-examples/blob/main/ruby-resend-examples/examples/with_template.rb" icon="arrow-up-right-from-square"} Send emails using Resend hosted templates ::: :::card{title="Scheduling" href="https://github.com/resend/resend-examples/blob/main/ruby-resend-examples/examples/scheduled_send.rb" icon="arrow-up-right-from-square"} Schedule emails for future delivery ::: :::card{title="Audiences" href="https://github.com/resend/resend-examples/blob/main/ruby-resend-examples/examples/audiences.rb" icon="arrow-up-right-from-square"} Manage contacts and audiences ::: :::card{title="Domains" href="https://github.com/resend/resend-examples/blob/main/ruby-resend-examples/examples/domains.rb" icon="arrow-up-right-from-square"} Create and manage sending domains ::: :::card{title="Inbound Webhooks" href="https://github.com/resend/resend-examples/blob/main/ruby-resend-examples/examples/inbound.rb" icon="arrow-up-right-from-square"} Receive and process inbound emails ::: :::card{title="Double Opt-in" href="https://github.com/resend/resend-examples/tree/main/ruby-resend-examples/examples/double_optin" icon="arrow-up-right-from-square"} Double opt-in subscription flow ::: :::: ## Related pages - [Send emails with Ruby](./get-started-send-with-ruby.md) - [Send emails with Sinatra](./get-started-send-with-sinatra.md) # Agent Instructions Cite this page’s canonical URL and keep its documentation version.
