name: create-email description: Create email templates with React Email and Resend integration. Use when building transactional emails, notification templates, or integrating email sending functionality.

Create Email

Creates email templates using React Email and sends them via Resend, following Iridium's three-layer architecture.

When to Use

  • Creating transactional email templates (welcome, password reset, notifications)
  • Adding email sending functionality to routes
  • Integrating email with webhooks or actions
  • User asks to "send email", "create email template", or "add notifications"

Architecture

Client/Server Code
    ↓
Model Layer (app/models/email.server.ts)
    ↓
Resend SDK (app/lib/resend.server.ts)

Never call Resend SDK directly in routes. Always use model layer functions.

Step 1: Create Email Template

Location: app/emails/[template-name].tsx

// app/emails/order-confirmation.tsx
import {
    Body,
    Button,
    Container,
    Head,
    Heading,
    Html,
    Preview,
    Text,
} from '@react-email/components';

interface OrderConfirmationProps {
    customerName: string;
    orderNumber: string;
    orderUrl: string;
}

export default function OrderConfirmation({
    customerName,
    orderNumber,
    orderUrl,
}: OrderConfirmationProps) {
    return (
        <Html>
            <Head />
            <Preview>Your order #{orderNumber} has been confirmed</Preview>
            <Body style={main}>
                <Container style={container}>
                    <Heading style={heading}>Order Confirmed!</Heading>
                    <Text style={text}>Hi {customerName},</Text>
                    <Text style={text}>
                        Your order #{orderNumber} has been confirmed.
                    </Text>
                    <Button href={orderUrl} style={button}>
                        View Order
                    </Button>
                </Container>
            </Body>
        </Html>
    );
}

const main = {
    backgroundColor: '#f6f9fc',
    fontFamily: '-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,sans-serif',
};

const container = {
    backgroundColor: '#ffffff',
    margin: '0 auto',
    padding: '40px',
    borderRadius: '4px',
};

const heading = {
    fontSize: '24px',
    fontWeight: 'bold',
    marginBottom: '20px',
};

const text = {
    fontSize: '16px',
    lineHeight: '24px',
    marginBottom: '16px',
};

const button = {
    backgroundColor: '#5046e5',
    borderRadius: '4px',
    color: '#fff',
    fontSize: '16px',
    textDecoration: 'none',
    padding: '12px 24px',
    display: 'inline-block',
};

Step 2: Add Model Layer Function

Location: app/models/email.server.ts

import { render } from '@react-email/components';
import OrderConfirmation from '~/emails/order-confirmation';
import { sendEmail } from './email.server';

export async function sendOrderConfirmation({
    to,
    customerName,
    orderNumber,
    orderUrl,
}: {
    to: string;
    customerName: string;
    orderNumber: string;
    orderUrl: string;
}) {
    const html = await render(
        OrderConfirmation({
            customerName,
            orderNumber,
            orderUrl,
        }),
    );

    return sendEmail({
        to,
        subject: `Order Confirmation #${orderNumber}`,
        html,
    });
}

Step 3: Use in Routes

import type { Route } from './+types/order';
import { sendOrderConfirmation } from '~/models/email.server';

export async function action({ request }: Route.ActionArgs) {
    const user = await requireUser(request);
    const order = await createOrder(data);

    // Send confirmation email
    await sendOrderConfirmation({
        to: user.email,
        customerName: user.name,
        orderNumber: order.id,
        orderUrl: `${process.env.BETTER_AUTH_URL}/orders/${order.id}`,
    });

    return data({ success: true });
}

Existing Model Layer Functions

Available in app/models/email.server.ts:

FunctionPurpose
sendEmail(options)Send raw HTML/text email
sendVerificationEmail({ to, verificationUrl })BetterAuth verification
sendPasswordResetEmail({ to, resetUrl })BetterAuth password reset
sendWelcomeEmail({ to, userName, dashboardUrl })Onboarding
sendTransactionalEmail({ to, heading, message })Generic notifications
sendBatchEmails(emails)Bulk sending

Environment Variables

RESEND_API_KEY="re_your-resend-api-key-here"
RESEND_FROM_EMAIL="noreply@yourdomain.com"  # Optional

Testing Locally

# Preview templates
npx react-email dev

Use onboarding@resend.dev as sender during development.

Anti-Patterns

  • Calling resend.emails.send() directly in routes
  • Sending emails without user authentication
  • Exposing API keys with VITE_ prefix
  • Sending unvalidated recipient addresses
  • Missing error handling for email failures
