Detailed flag specifications for resend emails commands.
Send an email via the Resend API.
| Flag | Type | Required | Description |
|---|
--from <address> | string | Yes (unless --template) | Sender address (must be on a verified domain) |
--to <addresses...> | string[] | Yes | Recipient(s), space-separated |
--subject <subject> | string | Yes (unless --template) | Email subject line |
--text <text> | string | One of text/html/file/react-email/template | Plain-text body |
--text-file <path> | string | One of text/html/file/react-email/template | Path to plain-text file (use "-" for stdin) |
--html <html> | string | One of text/html/file/react-email/template | HTML body |
--html-file <path> | string | One of text/html/file/react-email/template | Path to HTML file (use "-" for stdin) |
--react-email <path> | string | One of text/html/file/react-email/template | Path to React Email template (.tsx) — bundles, renders to HTML, and sends |
--template <id> | string | No | Template ID — replaces body/subject/from with template defaults |
--var <key=value...> | string[] | No | Template variables as key=value pairs (e.g. --var name=John --var count=42) |
--cc <addresses...> | string[] | No | CC recipients |
--bcc <addresses...> | string[] | No | BCC recipients |
--reply-to <address> | string | No | Reply-to address |
--scheduled-at <datetime> | string | No | Schedule for later — ISO 8601 or natural language (e.g. "in 1 hour", "tomorrow at 9am ET") |
--attachment <specs...> | string[] | No | File path or https:// URL to attach, with optional ;cid=, ;type=, ;filename= params (not compatible with --template) |
--attachments-file <path> | string | No | Path to a JSON array of attachment objects ("-" for stdin; not compatible with --template) |
--headers <key=value...> | string[] | No | Custom headers |
--tags <name=value...> | string[] | No | Email tags |
--idempotency-key <key> | string | No | Deduplicate request |
Attachment syntax: append ;cid=<id> (inline content-id referenced as cid: in HTML), ;type=<mime>, and/or ;filename=<name> to the path or URL. ALWAYS double-quote values containing ; — single quotes break on Windows cmd, and unquoted ; breaks on every shell:
resend emails send ... --html "<img src=cid:logo>" --attachment "./logo.png;cid=logo"
resend emails send ... --attachment "https://example.com/report.pdf;type=application/pdf"For paths containing a literal ;key= or for scripted use, pass --attachments-file with a JSON array of objects with content (base64) or path (URL), plus optional filename, content_type, content_id (camelCase also accepted).
URL attachment caveats: the API fetches the URL after the send request returns an email ID — an unreachable URL fails the email asynchronously (last_event: "failed" on emails get <id>). Filename and MIME type are NOT derived from the URL (stored as attachment-0 / application/octet-stream), so pass ;filename= and ;type= with every URL attachment:
resend emails send ... --attachment "https://example.com/report.pdf;filename=report.pdf;type=application/pdf"Output: {"id":"<uuid>"}
