Resend

As an example, let's walk through an example of sending the link via email using the Resend integration.

Steps:

1. Add the Send Email action from the available Resend actions
2. Bind fields of the action:
   • To → email passing in the event data
   • Subject → e.g., “Your magic link”
   • HTML/Text → include the url from the event data in the message body

Example HTML snippet:

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Click the link below to sign in:</p>
<p><a href="{{url}}">Sign in</a></p>
<p>This link will expire shortly. If you didn’t request it, you can ignore this email.</p>

The magic link will be then sent to the user, and when the user clicks the link, they will be directed appropriately to the corresponding page as configured when the Request magic link action was called from the interface.
