Sending Emails

Sending emails from Edge Functions using the Resend API.

Prerequisites#

To get the most out of this guide, you’ll need to:

Make sure you have the latest version of the Supabase CLI installed.

1. Create Supabase function#

Create a new function locally:

supabase functions new resend

Store the RESEND_API_KEY in your .env file.

2. Edit the handler function#

Paste the following code into the index.ts file:

import { serve } from 'https://deno.land/std@0.168.0/http/server.ts'
const RESEND_API_KEY = Deno.env.get('RESEND_API_KEY')
const handler = async (_request: Request): Promise<Response> => {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.resend.com/emails', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      Authorization: `Bearer ${RESEND_API_KEY}`,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      from: 'onboarding@resend.dev',
      to: 'delivered@resend.dev',
      subject: 'hello world',
      html: '<strong>it works!</strong>',
    }),
  })
  const data = await res.json()
  return new Response(JSON.stringify(data), {
    status: 200,
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
  })
}
serve(handler)

3. Deploy and send email#

Run function locally:

supabase start
supabase functions serve --no-verify-jwt --env-file .env

Test it: http://localhost:54321/functions/v1/resend

Deploy function to Supabase:

supabase functions deploy resend --no-verify-jwt

Open the endpoint URL to send an email:
