# Send emails with Bolt.new and Resend

> Learn how to add the Resend integration to your Bolt.new project.

[Bolt.new](https://bolt.new) is a platform for building full-stack web and mobile apps via chat. You can add Resend in a Bolt.new project by asking the chat to add email sending with Resend.

## Guide

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add your Resend API key">
    To use Resend with Bolt.new, you'll need to add a Resend API key, which you can create in the [Resend Dashboard](https://resend.com/api-keys). Do not share your API key with others or expose it in the browser or other client-side code.

    <Note>
      To safely store your Resend API key, use a `.env` file. You may need to
      include this instruction in your prompt to bolt.new. Learn more about
      [handling API keys](/knowledge-base/how-to-handle-api-keys).
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a custom domain to your Resend account">
    By default, you can only send emails to your own email address.

    To send emails to other email addresses:

    1. Add a [custom domain to your Resend account](/add-a-domain).
    2. Add the custom domain to the `from` field in the `resend` function in Bolt.new (or ask the chat to update these fields).

    Get more help adding a custom domain in [Resend's documentation](/dashboard/domains/introduction).
