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 from the event data
   • Subject → e.g., “Your verification code”
   • HTML/Text → include the otp from the event data in the message body

Example HTML snippet:

<p>Your verification code is: <strong>{{otp}}</strong></p>
<p>This code will expire shortly. If you didn’t request it, you can ignore this email.</p>
