Prerequisites

To get the most out of this guide, you’ll need to:

​
1. Setup your environment

First, configure your Resend SMTP details in your application’s .env file:
.env
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.resend.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=resend
MAIL_PASSWORD=re_xxxxxxxxx
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=onboarding@resend.dev
MAIL_FROM_NAME=Acme

​
2. Send an email

Now you’re ready to send emails with Laravel’s powerful email service. Here’s an example of how you could send your first email using Resend SMTP:
OrderShipmentController.php
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Mail\OrderShipped;
use App\Models\Order;
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;

class OrderShipmentController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Ship the given order.
     */
    public function store(Request $request): RedirectResponse
    {
        $order = Order::findOrFail($request->order_id);

        // Ship the order...

        Mail::to($request->user())->send(new OrderShipped($order));

        return redirect('/orders');
    }
}

​
3. Try it yourself
