The steps in writing
This is a text version of the video. It takes about five minutes.
- Go to resend.com/signup and make a free account with the email address you want your website’s enquiries sent to. Use the inbox you check every day. The free plan is plenty for a contact form.
- Click API Keys, then Create API Key. An API key is like a password that lets your website send email. Call it Website setup.
- Choose Full access, then click Add. This lets me finish the setup for you.
- Copy the key straight away. It starts with re_ and Resend only shows it once. If you lose it, just make a new one.
- Go to onetimesecret.com, paste the key and click Create Link.
- Send me the link. It opens once, then disappears. Please don’t send the key by normal email.
What happens next
| Who | What happens |
|---|---|
| Me | I connect your web address to Resend, using the Cloudflare access you already gave me. |
| Me | I swap your key for a new one that can only send your website’s enquiries, and delete the one you sent. |
| Me | I send a test enquiry and tell you when it arrives. |
| You | Keep your Resend account. Please don’t delete the key or the email settings in Cloudflare, or enquiries will stop arriving. |
