Common Patterns
- Transactional Emails
Password Reset:
// templates/password-reset.ts
export async function sendPasswordReset(
provider: 'resend' | 'sendgrid' | 'mailgun' | 'smtp2go',
to: string,
resetToken: string,
env: Env
): Promise<{ success: boolean; id?: string; error?: string }> {
const resetUrl = https://yourapp.com/reset-password?token=${resetToken};
const html = <h1>Reset Your Password</h1> <p>Click the link below to reset your password:</p> <a href="${resetUrl}">Reset Password</a> <p>This link expires in 1 hour.</p> ;
switch (provider) { case 'resend': return sendViaResend(to, 'Reset Your Password', html, env); case 'sendgrid': return sendViaSendGrid(to, 'Reset Your Password', html, env); case 'mailgun': return sendViaMailgun(to, 'Reset Your Password', html, env); case 'smtp2go': return sendViaSMTP2Go(to, 'Reset Your Password', html, env); } }
async function sendViaResend(
to: string,
subject: string,
html: string,
env: Env
): Promise<{ success: boolean; id?: string; error?: string }> {
const response = await fetch('https://api.resend.com/emails', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': Bearer ${env.RESEND_API_KEY},
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
from: 'noreply@yourdomain.com',
to,
subject,
html,
}),
});
if (!response.ok) { const error = await response.text(); return { success: false, error }; }
const data = await response.json(); return { success: true, id: data.id }; }
- Batch Sending
Resend (max 50 recipients):
async function sendBatchResend( recipients: string[], subject: string, html: string, env: Env ): Promise<Array<{ email: string; id?: string; error?: string }>> { const results: Array<{ email: string; id?: string; error?: string }> = [];
// Chunk into groups of 50 for (let i = 0; i < recipients.length; i += 50) { const chunk = recipients.slice(i, i + 50);
const response = await fetch('https://api.resend.com/emails', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${env.RESEND_API_KEY}`,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
from: 'noreply@yourdomain.com',
to: chunk,
subject,
html,
}),
});
if (response.ok) {
const data = await response.json();
chunk.forEach(email => results.push({ email, id: data.id }));
} else {
const error = await response.text();
chunk.forEach(email => results.push({ email, error }));
}
}
return results; }
SendGrid (max 1000 personalizations):
async function sendBatchSendGrid(
recipients: Array<{ email: string; name?: string; data?: Record<string, unknown> }>,
templateId: string,
env: Env
): Promise<{ success: boolean; error?: string }> {
const response = await fetch('https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': Bearer ${env.SENDGRID_API_KEY},
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
personalizations: recipients.map(r => ({
to: [{ email: r.email, name: r.name }],
dynamic_template_data: r.data || {},
})),
from: { email: 'noreply@yourdomain.com' },
template_id: templateId,
}),
});
if (!response.ok) { const error = await response.text(); return { success: false, error }; }
return { success: true }; }
- React Email Templates (Resend Only)
Install React Email:
npm install react-email @react-email/components
Create Template:
// emails/welcome.tsx import { Html, Head, Body, Container, Heading, Text, Button, } from '@react-email/components';
interface WelcomeEmailProps { name: string; confirmUrl: string; }
export default function WelcomeEmail({ name, confirmUrl }: WelcomeEmailProps) { return ( <Html> <Head /> <Body style={{ fontFamily: 'Arial, sans-serif' }}> <Container> <Heading>Welcome, {name}!</Heading> <Text>Thanks for signing up. Please confirm your email address:</Text> <Button href={confirmUrl} style={{ background: '#000', color: '#fff' }}> Confirm Email </Button> </Container> </Body> </Html> ); }
Send via Resend SDK (Node.js):
import { Resend } from 'resend'; import WelcomeEmail from './emails/welcome';
const resend = new Resend(process.env.RESEND_API_KEY);
await resend.emails.send({ from: 'noreply@yourdomain.com', to: 'user@example.com', subject: 'Welcome!', react: WelcomeEmail({ name: 'Alice', confirmUrl: 'https://...' }), });
Send via Workers (render to HTML first):
import { render } from '@react-email/render'; import WelcomeEmail from './emails/welcome';
const html = render(WelcomeEmail({ name: 'Alice', confirmUrl: 'https://...' }));
await fetch('https://api.resend.com/emails', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': Bearer ${env.RESEND_API_KEY},
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
from: 'noreply@yourdomain.com',
to: 'user@example.com',
subject: 'Welcome!',
html,
}),
});
- Dynamic Templates
SendGrid:
// 1. Create template in SendGrid dashboard with handlebars // Subject: Welcome {{name}}! // Body: <h1>Hi {{name}}</h1><p>Your code: {{confirmationCode}}</p>
// 2. Send with template ID
const response = await fetch('https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': Bearer ${env.SENDGRID_API_KEY},
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
personalizations: [{
to: [{ email: 'user@example.com' }],
dynamic_template_data: {
name: 'Alice',
confirmationCode: 'ABC123',
},
}],
from: { email: 'noreply@yourdomain.com' },
template_id: 'd-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
}),
});
Mailgun:
// 1. Create template in Mailgun dashboard or via API // Use {{name}} and {{confirmationCode}} variables
// 2. Send with template name const formData = new FormData(); formData.append('from', 'noreply@yourdomain.com'); formData.append('to', 'user@example.com'); formData.append('subject', 'Welcome'); formData.append('template', 'welcome-template'); formData.append('h:X-Mailgun-Variables', JSON.stringify({ name: 'Alice', confirmationCode: 'ABC123', }));
const response = await fetch(
https://api.mailgun.net/v3/${env.MAILGUN_DOMAIN}/messages,
{
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': Basic ${btoa(api:${env.MAILGUN_API_KEY})},
},
body: formData,
}
);
- Attachments
Resend:
const fileBuffer = await file.arrayBuffer(); const base64Content = btoa(String.fromCharCode(...new Uint8Array(fileBuffer)));
await fetch('https://api.resend.com/emails', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': Bearer ${env.RESEND_API_KEY},
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
from: 'noreply@yourdomain.com',
to: 'user@example.com',
subject: 'Your Invoice',
html: '<p>Attached is your invoice.</p>',
attachments: [{
filename: 'invoice.pdf',
content: base64Content,
}],
}),
});
SendGrid:
const fileBuffer = await file.arrayBuffer(); const base64Content = btoa(String.fromCharCode(...new Uint8Array(fileBuffer)));
const response = await fetch('https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': Bearer ${env.SENDGRID_API_KEY},
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
personalizations: [{
to: [{ email: 'user@example.com' }],
}],
from: { email: 'noreply@yourdomain.com' },
subject: 'Your Invoice',
content: [{ type: 'text/html', value: '<p>Attached is your invoice.</p>' }],
attachments: [{
content: base64Content,
filename: 'invoice.pdf',
type: 'application/pdf',
disposition: 'attachment',
}],
}),
});
Mailgun (uses FormData with File):
const formData = new FormData(); formData.append('from', 'noreply@yourdomain.com'); formData.append('to', 'user@example.com'); formData.append('subject', 'Your Invoice'); formData.append('html', '<p>Attached is your invoice.</p>'); formData.append('attachment', file); // File object directly
const response = await fetch(
https://api.mailgun.net/v3/${env.MAILGUN_DOMAIN}/messages,
{
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': Basic ${btoa(api:${env.MAILGUN_API_KEY})},
},
body: formData,
}
);
- Webhooks (Event Tracking)
Resend Webhooks:
Events: email.sent , email.delivered , email.delivery_delayed , email.bounced , email.complained , email.opened , email.clicked
// Verify webhook signature import { createHmac } from 'crypto';
export async function verifyResendWebhook( request: Request, secret: string ): Promise<boolean> { const signature = request.headers.get('svix-signature'); const timestamp = request.headers.get('svix-timestamp'); const body = await request.text();
if (!signature || !timestamp) return false;
const signedContent = ${timestamp}.${body};
const expectedSignature = createHmac('sha256', secret)
.update(signedContent)
.digest('base64');
return signature.includes(expectedSignature); }
// Handle webhook export async function handleResendWebhook(request: Request, env: Env) { const isValid = await verifyResendWebhook(request, env.RESEND_WEBHOOK_SECRET); if (!isValid) { return new Response('Invalid signature', { status: 401 }); }
const event = await request.json();
switch (event.type) { case 'email.bounced': // Mark email as invalid await markEmailInvalid(event.data.email); break; case 'email.complained': // Unsubscribe user await unsubscribeUser(event.data.email); break; }
return new Response('OK'); }
SendGrid Webhooks:
// Verify webhook signature (requires express-style body parser) import { EventWebhook, EventWebhookHeader } from '@sendgrid/eventwebhook';
export async function verifySendGridWebhook( request: Request, publicKey: string ): Promise<boolean> { const signature = request.headers.get(EventWebhookHeader.SIGNATURE()); const timestamp = request.headers.get(EventWebhookHeader.TIMESTAMP()); const body = await request.text();
const eventWebhook = new EventWebhook(); const ecPublicKey = eventWebhook.convertPublicKeyToECDSA(publicKey);
return eventWebhook.verifySignature( ecPublicKey, body, signature!, timestamp! ); }
// Handle webhook export async function handleSendGridWebhook(request: Request, env: Env) { const events = await request.json();
for (const event of events) { switch (event.event) { case 'bounce': await markEmailInvalid(event.email); break; case 'spamreport': await unsubscribeUser(event.email); break; } }
return new Response('OK'); }
Mailgun Webhooks:
// Verify webhook signature import { createHmac } from 'crypto';
export function verifyMailgunWebhook(
timestamp: string,
token: string,
signature: string,
signingKey: string
): boolean {
const encoded = createHmac('sha256', signingKey)
.update(${timestamp}${token})
.digest('hex');
return encoded === signature; }
// Handle webhook export async function handleMailgunWebhook(request: Request, env: Env) { const data = await request.json();
const isValid = verifyMailgunWebhook( data.signature.timestamp, data.signature.token, data.signature.signature, env.MAILGUN_WEBHOOK_SIGNING_KEY );
if (!isValid) { return new Response('Invalid signature', { status: 401 }); }
switch (data['event-data'].event) { case 'failed': if (data['event-data'].severity === 'permanent') { await markEmailInvalid(data['event-data'].recipient); } break; case 'complained': await unsubscribeUser(data['event-data'].recipient); break; }
return new Response('OK'); }
SMTP2Go Webhooks:
// Verify webhook signature import { createHmac } from 'crypto';
export function verifySMTP2GoWebhook( body: string, signature: string, secret: string ): boolean { const expectedSignature = createHmac('sha256', secret) .update(body) .digest('hex');
return expectedSignature === signature; }
// Handle webhook export async function handleSMTP2GoWebhook(request: Request, env: Env) { const signature = request.headers.get('X-Smtp2go-Signature'); const body = await request.text();
if (!signature || !verifySMTP2GoWebhook(body, signature, env.SMTP2GO_WEBHOOK_SECRET)) { return new Response('Invalid signature', { status: 401 }); }
const event = JSON.parse(body);
switch (event.event) { case 'bounce': await markEmailInvalid(event.email); break; case 'spam': await unsubscribeUser(event.email); break; }
return new Response('OK'); }

Rate Limiting & Retry
Exponential Backoff Pattern
async function sendWithRetry( sendFn: () => Promise<Response>, maxRetries = 3 ): Promise<Response> { let lastError: Error | null = null;
for (let attempt = 0; attempt < maxRetries; attempt++) { try { const response = await sendFn();
if (response.ok) {
return response;
}
// Check if retryable
if (response.status === 429 || response.status >= 500) {
const retryAfter = response.headers.get('Retry-After');
const delay = retryAfter
? parseInt(retryAfter) * 1000
: Math.pow(2, attempt) * 1000;
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay));
continue;
}
// Non-retryable error
return response;
} catch (error) {
lastError = error as Error;
if (attempt < maxRetries - 1) {
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, Math.pow(2, attempt) * 1000));
}
}
}
throw lastError || new Error('Max retries exceeded'); }
// Usage
const response = await sendWithRetry(() =>
fetch('https://api.resend.com/emails', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': Bearer ${env.RESEND_API_KEY},
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify(email),
})
);
Rate Limit Tracking
// Use KV to track rate limits per provider interface RateLimitState { count: number; resetAt: number; }
async function checkRateLimit(
provider: string,
kv: KVNamespace
): Promise<{ allowed: boolean; resetAt?: number }> {
const key = rate-limit:${provider};
const stateJson = await kv.get(key);
const state: RateLimitState = stateJson ? JSON.parse(stateJson) : null;
const now = Date.now();
if (!state || now > state.resetAt) { // Reset window const limits: Record<string, number> = { resend: 10, sendgrid: 600, mailgun: 100, smtp2go: 10, };
const newState: RateLimitState = {
count: 1,
resetAt: now + 1000, // 1 second window
};
await kv.put(key, JSON.stringify(newState), { expirationTtl: 60 });
return { allowed: true };
}
const limits: Record<string, number> = { resend: 10, sendgrid: 600, mailgun: 100, smtp2go: 10, };
if (state.count >= limits[provider]) { return { allowed: false, resetAt: state.resetAt }; }
state.count++; await kv.put(key, JSON.stringify(state), { expirationTtl: 60 }); return { allowed: true }; }
