Overview

This node operation allows users to add a new domain to the Resend email platform. It is useful for managing email sending and receiving capabilities by associating a domain with the platform. After adding a domain, users must configure DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and verify the domain to enable email sending. This operation is beneficial for organizations or individuals who want to send emails from their own domain and track email engagement.

Use Case Examples

  1. Adding a new domain 'example.com' to Resend to send marketing emails.
  2. Configuring a domain with sending enabled and receiving disabled for outbound email campaigns.
  3. Setting up a custom return path subdomain for bounce handling.

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain Name The domain name to add to Resend (e.g., example.com). After adding, DNS records must be configured to verify ownership before sending emails.
Capabilities Configure the domain capabilities for sending and receiving emails. At least one capability must be enabled.
Click Tracking Whether to track clicks within the body of each HTML email sent from this domain.
Custom Return Path Custom subdomain for email bounce handling (Return-Path address). Defaults to 'send'. This subdomain needs to be configured in DNS.
Open Tracking Whether to track the open rate of each email sent from this domain.
Region The AWS region where emails will be sent from. Choose a region closest to recipients for better deliverability.
TLS TLS setting for email delivery. Opportunistic attempts secure connection but falls back to unencrypted. Enforced requires TLS.
