## Send email with Resend
<Tip>Resend was built by the same team that created React Email, which makes this our recommendation to send emails.</Tip>
### 1. Install dependencies
Get the [react-email](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-email) package and the [Resend Node.js SDK](https://www.npmjs.com/package/resend).
<CodeGroup>
```sh npm
npm install resend react-email
```
```sh yarn
yarn add resend react-email
```
```sh pnpm
pnpm add resend react-email
```
</CodeGroup>
### 2. Create an email using React
Start by building your email template in a `.jsx` or `.tsx` file.
```tsx email.tsx
import * as React from 'react';
import { Html, Button } from "react-email";
export function Email(props) {
const { url } = props;
return (
<Html lang="en">
<Button href={url}>Click me</Button>
</Html>
);
}
export default Email;
```
### 3. Send email
<Info>When integrating with other services, you need to convert your React template into HTML before sending. Resend takes care of that for you.</Info>
Import the email template you just built and use the Resend SDK to send it.
```tsx
import { Resend } from 'resend';
import { Email } from './email';
const resend = new Resend('re_123456789');
await resend.emails.send({
from: 'you@example.com',
to: 'user@gmail.com',
subject: 'hello world',
react: <Email url="https://example.com" />,
});
```
## Set up Templates with Resend
[Resend Templates](https://resend.com/docs/dashboard/templates/introduction) are a great way to collaborate on emails with your team, even if they're not technical. Upload a React Email Template to Resend and your entire team can collaborate in real-time in the visual editor.
Here's how to get started.
### 1. Add your Resend API Key
First, sign up for a [free Resend account](https://resend.com/signup).
Next, set up the Resend integration using the React Email CLI:
```bash
npx react-email@latest resend setup
```
This will prompt you to enter your Resend API Key. To get one, navigate to [API Keys](https://resend.com/api-keys) in your Resend dashboard, click **Create API key**, and ensure that the API Key is scoped to **Full Access**.
Paste the API Key into the terminal and press enter.
### 2. Upload a Template to Resend
Run React Email and visit the **Resend** tab of the toolbar, located at the bottom of the window.
Choose **Upload** or **Bulk Upload** to import your Template to Resend.

If you want to remove the Resend integration, run `npx react-email@latest resend reset`.
