Get your Resend API key
Create a Resend API key, verify a sending domain, and select Resend as the email service in VisionScaper.
On this page
Resend is one of three alternative email services in Settings → VisionScaper Messaging. Use it if you prefer it to Postmark.
Before you start
- A Resend account.
- A domain you own. Resend says you must add and verify at least one domain before you can send, and it cannot be a public or shared domain.
Steps
- Sign in to the Resend Dashboard.
- Open the Domains page (
resend.com/domains). Add your domain, or a sub-domain likeupdates.yoursite.com. You can choose a region. Follow Resend’s add-a-domain guide for the DNS records. (The record list is not in the pages I read, so it is unverified.) - Open the API keys page (
resend.com/api-keys). - Create a key. You give it a name, a permission, and an optional domain restriction. The permission choices were not confirmed in the docs I read. Choose the narrowest one that allows sending.
- Copy the key. Resend says you cannot view or edit the value after it is created.
- In WordPress go to Settings → VisionScaper Messaging and the Email section.
- In Email service, choose Resend.
- Paste the key into Resend key.
- Fill Resend webhook secret if you set up the webhook (see the next article).
- Click Save.
- Go to Settings → VisionScaper Marketing and set Send from address to an address on the verified domain.
Tips
- If Email service says “Use the one in Marketing settings”, VisionScaper uses the choice made on the Marketing page (Postmark or the site’s mail).
- The plugin sends the From name, a reply-to, and one-click unsubscribe headers with each message.
If something goes wrong
- “The email service isn’t connected yet.” The key is blank.
- “Set a sender email address first.” Send from address is empty or invalid.
- Resend rejects the send. The domain is not verified or the From address is on another domain.
