This guide helps you verify your domain on Vercel with Resend. We also have an official integration for Vercel that helps you set up your API keys on Vercel projects so you can start sending emails with Resend. View the integration here.

​
Add Domain to Resend

First, log in to your Resend Account and add a domain. Domain Details
It is best practice to use a subdomain (updates.example.com) instead of the root domain (example.com). This allows for proper reputation segmentation based on topics or purpose (e.g. transactional and marketing).
