Resend overview & authentication

These are the docs for Trigger.dev v2 which will be deprecated on January 31st, 2025. You probably want the v3 docs.

Overview

Resend is the email API for developers. With our Resend integration you can send email campaigns, transactional emails, and automated emails (drip campaigns) from your app.

Installing the Resend packages

To get started with our Resend integration, you need to install the @trigger.dev/resend packages. You can do this using npm, pnpm, or yarn:

npm

npm install @trigger.dev/resend@latest

Authentication

Resend supports API Keys. Official documentation here.

import { Resend } from "@trigger.dev/resend";

const resend = new Resend({
  id: "resend",
  apiKey: process.env.RESEND_API_KEY!,
});

Tasks

Once you have set up a Resend client, you can use it to create tasks.

Tasks
