  Resend API integration with managed authentication. Send transactional emails, manage domains, contacts, templates, and broadcasts.
  Use this skill when users want to send emails, manage email templates, create contact lists, or set up email broadcasts.
  For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

# Resend

Access the Resend API with managed authentication. Send transactional emails, manage domains, contacts, templates, broadcasts, and webhooks.

## Quick Start

```bash
# List sent emails
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/resend/emails')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

## Base URL

```
https://gateway.maton.ai/resend/{endpoint}
```

The gateway proxies requests to `api.resend.com` and automatically injects your API key.

## Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

```
Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY
```

**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:

```bash
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
```

### Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)
2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)
3. Copy your API key

## Connection Management

Manage your Resend connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.

### List Connections

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=resend&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Create Connection

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'resend'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Get Connection

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "528c8f70-23f4-46d5-bd9f-01d0d043e573",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-03-13T00:19:36.809599Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-03-13T09:59:08.443568Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "resend",
    "metadata": {},
    "method": "API_KEY"
  }
}
```

### Delete Connection

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Resend connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/resend/emails')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '528c8f70-23f4-46d5-bd9f-01d0d043e573')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

## Code Examples

### JavaScript

```javascript
// Send an email
const response = await fetch('https://gateway.maton.ai/resend/emails', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    from: 'you@yourdomain.com',
    to: ['recipient@example.com'],
    subject: 'Hello!',
    html: '<p>Welcome!</p>'
  })
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.id);
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/resend/emails',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    json={
        'from': 'you@yourdomain.com',
        'to': ['recipient@example.com'],
        'subject': 'Hello!',
        'html': '<p>Welcome!</p>'
    }
)
email = response.json()
print(f"Email sent: {email['id']}")
```

## Notes

- Sending emails requires a verified domain
- Rate limit: 2 requests per second
- Batch emails accept up to 100 emails per request
- Scheduled emails can be set up to 7 days in advance
- Attachments support base64 encoded content or URLs
- The `from` address must use a verified domain
- IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments

## Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| 400 | Bad request or missing Resend connection |
| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |
| 403 | Domain not verified or permission denied |
| 404 | Resource not found |
| 422 | Validation error (missing required fields) |
| 429 | Rate limited (2 req/sec) |
| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Resend API |

### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:

```bash
echo $MATON_API_KEY
```

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Troubleshooting: Domain Not Verified

To send emails, you must first add and verify a domain:

1. Create a domain: `POST /resend/domains`
2. Add the DNS records provided in the response
3. Verify the domain: `POST /resend/domains/{id}/verify`
