Overview

This example demonstrates how to use Trigger.dev to send emails using React Email.
This example uses Resend as the email provider. You can use other email providers like Loops or SendGrid etc. Full list of their integrations can be found here.

​
Task code

This email is built using React components. To use React components in your task, it must be a .tsx file.
trigger/sendReactEmail.tsx
import { Body, Button, Container, Head, Heading, Html, Preview } from "@react-email/components";
import { logger, task } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
import { Resend } from "resend";

// Initialize Resend client
const resend = new Resend(process.env.RESEND_API_KEY);

// React Email template component
const EmailTemplate = ({ name, message }: { name: string; message: string }) => (
  <Html lang="en">
    <Head />
    <Preview>New message from {name}</Preview>
    <Body style={{ fontFamily: "Arial, sans-serif", margin: "0", padding: "0" }}>
      <Container style={{ padding: "20px", maxWidth: "600px" }}>
        <Heading>Hello from Acme Inc.</Heading>
        <p>Hi {name},</p>
        <p>{message}</p>
        <Button
          href="https://trigger.dev"
          style={{
            backgroundColor: "#0070f3",
            color: "white",
            padding: "12px 20px",
            borderRadius: "8px",
          }}
        >
          Go to Acme Inc.
        </Button>
      </Container>
    </Body>
  </Html>
);

export const sendEmail = task({
  id: "send-react-email",
  run: async (payload: {
    to: string;
    name: string;
    message: string;
    subject: string;
    from?: string;
  }) => {
    try {
      logger.info("Sending email using React.email and Resend", {
        to: payload.to,
      });

      // Send the email using Resend
      const { data, error } = await resend.emails.send({
        // The from address needs to be a verified email address you own
        from: payload.from || "[email protected]", // Default from address
        to: payload.to,
        subject: payload.subject,
        react: <EmailTemplate name={payload.name} message={payload.message} />,
      });

      if (error) {
        logger.error("Failed to send email", { error });
        throw new Error(`Failed to send email: ${error.message}`);
      }

      logger.info("Email sent successfully", { emailId: data?.id });

      // Return the response from Resend
      return {
        id: data?.id,
        status: "sent",
      };
    } catch (error) {
      logger.error("Unexpected error sending email", { error });
      throw error;
    }
  },
});
