The Resend action sends transactional email from your verified Resend domain whenever a form is submitted. To, Reply-To, subject and message take form variables, while the API key and sender address stay under admin control.

Sending is only half of it. Connect Resend's signed webhook and Core Forms records delivery, bounce, complaint, failure and suppression events next to the original send in the action log.

What you get

How Resend works in Core Forms

Verified-domain sending

Send plain text or HTML from any address on a domain you have verified in Resend, to as many as 50 recipients.

Retries that do not double-send

Every send carries a stable idempotency key, so a retry inside Resend's 24-hour window does not deliver the email twice.

Signed delivery events

Webhook events are verified against the signing secret with a five-minute timestamp tolerance. Duplicate events are ignored.

Separate log entries

Accepted sends and later delivery events are logged separately. Bounces, complaints, failures and suppressions show as failed entries.

Nothing extra stored

Recipient addresses and message bodies are not copied into the delivery-event records.
