Introduction
Once you choose Resend as the mailer in GoSMTP settings, you'll find a field to add the API key. Generate the API key in your Resend account and paste it there. This connects GoSMTP with Resend, enabling you to send emails effortlessly using their API.
This tutorial will guide you through the process of setting up GoSMTP with your Resend email address.
To begin, make sure you have installed and activated the GoSMTP plugin.
After installing GoSMTP, you can easily configure the plugin's settings. Just go to GoSMTP » Settings in your WordPress dashboard and navigate to the SMTP Settings tab.

To get started, follow these steps to configure the GoSMTP plugin in WordPress:
Basic configuration
After selecting Resend as your mailer in GoSMTP settings, you'll see a field to enter your API Key. Generate this key from your Resend account and paste it into the field to connect GoSMTP with Resend, allowing you to send emails seamlessly via their API.
To begin, you'll need a Resend account. If you haven't created one yet, simply click on Get Started to register and set up your new account.
After that, you will see the signup page, or if you already have a Resend account, visit Resend's website (resend.com) and login an account. The signup process is straightforward and typically requires your email address and password.
Once signed up, log in to your Resend account using the credentials you created during sign-up. You will be directed to the Resend dashboard, where you can manage your email settings.
Steps to Add Your Domain:
In the Resend dashboard, navigate to "Domains". This is where you need to add your domain for verification, which is necessary for integrating Resend's API with GoSMTP. Click on Add Domain, which opens a window where you need to enter your domain name.
After adding your domain, you will be redirected to the DNS Records screen. You need to verify your DNS records to send emails from your domain. To do so, you need to add the given DNS records to your DNS provider.
After adding your DNS records to your DNS provider, scroll down and click on “I've added the records” to complete the verification process. Please note that it might take some time for the records to propagate and be verified.
Once your DNS records are successfully verified, the status will change from “Pending” to “Verified”.
Once your DNS records are successfully verified, the status will change from “Pending” to “Verified”.
Next, go to the “API Keys” tab and click on “Create API Key” to generate one.
Then, an Add API Key window opens, provide a suitable name for your key, set Permission to Full access, and click on Add. Be sure to copy and store this key securely, as it acts like a password and provides access to your Resend account.
Mailer configuration
Within the GoSMTP settings, find the field where you are required to enter the Resend API key. This is where you'll paste the API Key you copied in Step 2. After entering the API key, save the GoSMTP settings to apply the changes.
Send test Mail
After successfully configuring the mail settings, it's time to test your email functionality. Send a test email to verify whether it will be delivered successfully or encounter any issues. This test will determine whether your mail setup is functioning properly.
