Reviewers mostly describe Resend as a simple, developer-first way to handle transactional email, praising fast setup, clean APIs, reliable deliverability, and low-maintenance operation. Users also like the logs, lean interface, React Email support, and quick integrations with common app stacks. Founders of
Basedash,
Refgrow, and
Rectify say their teams use it for onboarding, notifications, and payouts. Criticism is narrower: docs skew toward JavaScript, some want stronger marketing or unsubscribe features, and one reviewer reported serious delivery delays.

@Resend announced Automations during their launch week a month ago, and @zenorocha just posted an update on X: 518,265 automation runs since then.
Impressive!
Resend's DX is already top-tier. For the new automations, can we trigger flows based on custom metadata passed through the API, or is it strictly pre-defined events for now?
@rivra_dev, you can use custom events as a trigger.

This feature is exactly what I've been waiting for — it makes arrangement so much more intuitive. Huge thanks to the @Resend team!
