# Resend email integration guide (/platform/integrations/email/resend)

Learn how to use the Resend provider to send email notifications using Novu

import { EmailProviderNextSteps } from '@/snippets/channels/email/email-provider-next-steps.tsx';

You can use the [Resend](https://resend.com/) provider to send transactional emails to your customers using the Novu Platform with a single API to create multi-channel experiences.

## Getting Started

To use the Resend provider in the email channel, you will need to create a Resend account and add your API key to the Resend integration on the Novu platform.

## Generating an API Key

To generate a new API key in Resend, you can follow these steps:

* [Sign up](https://resend.com/secret) or [Log in](https://resend.com/login) to your Resend account.
* Click on the **API Keys** link in the left sidebar, and then click the "Create API Key" button on the top right part of the page.
* On the [API Keys](https://resend.com/api-keys) page, click the **Create API Key** button.
* Give the API key a name and click on the **Add** button.
* Copy the generated API Key.

## Authenticating your Sender Identity

Before you can send emails on a large scale, you will need to authenticate your Sender Identity.

Resend allows you to authenticate your sender identity using [Domain Authentication](https://resend.com/docs/dashboard/domains/introduction).

## Creating a Resend integration with Novu

* Visit the [Integrations](https://dashboard.novu.co/integrations?utm_campaign=docs-resend) page on Novu.
* Click on Add a Provider.
* Select Resend service.
* Enter your Resend API Key.
* Fill in the `From email address` field using the authenticated email from the previous step.
  * For testing, you can use `onboarding@resend.dev` if you have not authenticated your sender identity.
* Fill in the `Sender's name`.
* Click on the `Disabled` button and mark it as `Active`.
* Click on the **Update** button.
* You should now be able to send notifications using Resend in Novu.
