Edge Functions

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:

1
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:

1
const RESEND_API_KEY = Deno.env.get('RESEND_API_KEY')
2
3
const handler = async (_request: Request): Promise<Response> => {
4
  const res = await fetch('https://api.resend.com/emails', {
5
    method: 'POST',
6
    headers: {
7
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
8
      Authorization: `Bearer ${RESEND_API_KEY}`,
9
    },
10
    body: JSON.stringify({
11
      from: 'onboarding@resend.dev',
12
      to: 'delivered@resend.dev',
13
      subject: 'hello world',
14
      html: '<strong>it works!</strong>',
15
    }),
16
  })
17
18
  const data = await res.json()
19
20
  return new Response(JSON.stringify(data), {
21
    status: 200,
22
    headers: {
23
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
24
    },
25
  })
26
}
27
28
Deno.serve(handler)

3. Deploy and send email

Run function locally:

1
supabase start
2
supabase functions serve --no-verify-jwt --env-file .env

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

Deploy function to Supabase:

1
supabase functions deploy resend --no-verify-jwt

Open the endpoint URL to send an email:
