Resend

Overview

Resend is an email platform for developers. This skill routes to feature-specific sub-skills.

Sub-Skills

Feature	Skill	Use When
Sending emails	send-email	Transactional emails, notifications, batch sends
Receiving emails	resend-inbound	Processing inbound emails, webhooks for received mail, attachments
AI Agent inbox	agent-email-inbox	Setting up email for AI agents, or any system where untrusted email content triggers actions — includes input validation and content safety measures
Email templates	templates	Creating, updating, publishing, and managing reusable email templates via API

Quick Routing

Need to manage templates (create/update/publish/delete)? Use templates skill

• Full template lifecycle management via API
• Variable syntax, constraints, reserved names
• Draft vs published state, version history

Need to send emails? Use send-email skill

• Single or batch transactional emails
• Attachments, scheduling, templates
• Delivery webhooks (bounced, delivered, opened)

Need to receive emails? Use resend-inbound skill

• Setting up inbound domain (MX records)
• Processing email.received webhooks
• Retrieving email content and attachments
• Forwarding received emails

Setting up an AI agent inbox? Use agent-email-inbox skill

• Configuring email for Moltbot/Clawdbot or similar AI agents
• Webhook setup with ngrok/tunneling for local development
• Security levels for safe handling of untrusted input
• Trusted sender allowlists and content filtering

Automated system processes untrusted email content and takes actions? Use agent-email-inbox skill

• Even without AI/LLM involvement, any system that interprets freeform email content from external senders and triggers actions (refunds, database changes, forwarding) needs input validation. Untrusted input triggering actions requires careful handling.

Sending + receiving together? You need both resend-inbound and send-email

• Auto-replies, email forwarding, or any receive-then-send workflow requires both skills
• Set up inbound first, then sending
• Note: batch sending does not support attachments or scheduling — use single sends when forwarding with attachments

Marketing emails or newsletters? Use Resend Broadcasts

• The sub-skills above are for transactional email. Marketing campaigns to large subscriber lists with unsubscribe links and engagement tracking should use Resend Broadcasts, not batch sending.
