# Sending Emails ## Sending transactional emails Resend provides all the tools you need to send [transactional emails](/guides/get-started-email-types#send-transactional-emails) from your application. These are useful for: - order confirmations - password reset emails - account notifications :::callout{intent="tip"} To send bulk marketing emails, use the [Broadcasts](/guides/learn-dashboard-broadcasts-introduction) feature. ::: Once you [verify a domain](/guides/get-started-add-a-domain) in your Resend account, you can send from any email address at that domain. You do not need to “create an email address,” “set up a sender identity,” or “add a from-address” before sending. ## Sending Features With Resend's email sending features, you can: - Send, retrieve, cancel, and manage individual and transactional email delivery through the [Sending API](/guides/sending-2-send-email) and [SDKs](/guides/resources-sdks), [CLI commands](/guides/resources-cli#emails), [automations](/guides/learn-dashboard-automations-introduction), and [AI building tools](/guides/get-started-ai-onboarding). - [View and manage all sent emails](/guides/learn-dashboard-emails-manage-emails) in the Emails Dashboard page. - Send single or [batch transactional emails](/guides/learn-dashboard-emails-batch-sending). - [Schedule emails](/guides/learn-dashboard-emails-schedule-email) to be sent at a future date. - Send emails [with attachments](/guides/learn-dashboard-emails-attachments) and [embedded images](/guides/learn-dashboard-emails-embed-inline-images). - Include [custom headers](/guides/learn-dashboard-emails-custom-headers) in your emails. - Use [idempotency keys](/guides/learn-dashboard-emails-idempotency-keys) to ensure emails are sent only once. - Receive tailored [deliverability insights](/guides/learn-dashboard-emails-deliverability-insights) about each email with suggestions for improvement. - [View API endpoint logs](/guides/learn-dashboard-logs-introduction) and deliverability metrics for monitoring and troubleshooting. ## Quickstart Get started with a [quick setup sending example](/guides/get-started-introduction#quickstart) for your language or an [AI builder guide](/guides/get-started-ai-onboarding#ai-builder-guides) to see how to incorporate Resend into your application. ## Choose your infrastructure To send transactional emails from your application, you can use a variety of tools: - [SDK](/guides/resources-sdks): send with an SDK built for your language - [Integrations](/guides/resources-integrations): send from a framework or tool you already use - [API](/guides/sending-2-send-email): send with raw cURL calls - [CLI](/guides/resources-cli#emails): send emails from the terminal - [MCP](/guides/resources-mcp-server): send through your agent with MCP (see also [skills](/guides/build-with-ai-react-email-skill)) - [SMTP](/guides/get-started-send-with-smtp): send without external dependencies You can also send emails as part of [automated workflows](/guides/learn-dashboard-automations-introduction) such as abandoned cart reminders, and create [email templates](/guides/learn-dashboard-templates-introduction) for repeatable content.
