Resend Automations are here

Resend Automations lets you fire custom events from your app and trigger entire email flows — drip campaigns, abandoned cart sequences, conditional logic, and more. In this walkthrough, we build two automations from scratch: a simple welcome email and a full checkout flow with branching conditions. https://resend.com/docs/dashboard/automations/introduction ## What's Covered - How to create custom events and triggers in the Resend dashboard - Building a basic automation: user signup - Testing automations with the Resend CLI using `resend events send` - Building a more complex checkout flow with typed event payloads (subtotal, item count, product names) - Using conditions to branch logic based on event data (e.g., subtotal greater than $10) - Waiting for a second event with a timeout to power abandoned cart emails - Updating contact properties automatically when a checkout completes - Real-time observability panel to watch automations execute step by step - Creating entire automation flows programmatically through the API 0:00 Intro to Automations 0:16 Creating Your First Automation 0:49 Building a Simple Welcome Email Flow 1:56 Testing with the Resend CLI 2:30 Observability Panel in Action 2:49 Building a Checkout Flow 3:50 Adding Conditions & Branching Logic 4:32 Wait for Event with Timeout 5:00 Abandoned Cart Email 5:51 Setting Up the Code 6:35 Live Demo: Checkout Started 7:32 Live Demo: Checkout Completed 8:07 Updating Contact Properties Automatically 8:48 Wrap Up & What's Next
