Providers
Resend
Send your organisation's email through your own Resend account, from an address on your domain. Resend's API keys can be limited to sending, and to one domain, which makes it the simplest provider to set up with the least access.
TL;DR
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What do I need? | A Resend account with your domain added and verified. |
| Which key? | An API key with sending access only, limited to your domain if you like. |
| Where does Plotwork send? | https://api.resend.com/emails, with the key as a bearer token. |
| Anything special? | No region and no other setting. |
1. Verify the domain at Resend
- In the Resend dashboard, open Domains and add the domain you will send from. It must be the same domain you verified in Plotwork, such as
acme.com. - Publish the DNS records Resend shows for it: the DKIM record, and the SPF and MX records Resend uses for its return path.
- Wait until Resend shows the domain as verified.
2. Make a send-only API key
- In the Resend dashboard, open API Keys and create a key.
- Give it a name that says what it is for, such as
Plotwork. - Choose sending access, not full access. Where Resend offers it, limit the key to the domain you verified.
- Copy the key. Resend shows it once.
3. Fill in the connector
| Field in Plotwork | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Provider | Resend |
| API token | The key from step 2 |
| From address | An address on the verified domain, such as plotwork@acme.com |
Then send a test from the Connectors tab.
If the test fails
| Answer | Likely cause |
|---|---|
| The provider did not accept the token | The key was revoked, mistyped, or is limited to another domain. |
| The provider refused the email | The domain is not verified at Resend yet, or the From address is on another domain. |
| The provider could not be reached | Resend is down or slow. Try again later. |
