Create Domain

Create a domain through the Resend Email API.

Body Parameters

name · string · required

The name of the domain you want to create.

region · string · default: "us-east-1"

The region where emails will be sent from. Possible values: 'us-east-1' | 'eu-west-1' | 'sa-east-1' | 'ap-northeast-1'

custom_return_path · string · default: "send"

For advanced use cases, choose a subdomain for the Return-Path address. The custom return path is used for SPF authentication, DMARC alignment, and handling bounced emails. Defaults to send (i.e., send.yourdomain.tld). Avoid setting values that could undermine credibility (e.g. testing), as they may be exposed to recipients.

Learn more about custom return paths.

Node.js

import { Resend } from 'resend';

const resend = new Resend('re_xxxxxxxxx');

resend.domains.create({ name: 'example.com' });
