Password Reset Email Service using Resend and Vercel

This project demonstrates how to create a noreply email service specifically for resetting passwords using Resend and Vercel. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up and deploy the service.

🚀 Steps to Set Up

1. Sign Up for Resend

• Visit Resend.com
• Sign up and log in to your account

2. Verify Domain (for [email protected])

• Navigate to the Domains section
• Add nicztin.com
• Resend will provide DNS Records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
• Go to your DNS provider (e.g., Cloudflare, Namecheap, Vercel DNS...)
• Add the provided DNS Records and wait for verification

3. API Code in Vercel (Node.js + Next.js API)

Create an API route (pages/api/reset-password.js) in your Vercel project:

import { Resend } from "resend";

const resend = new Resend(process.env.RESEND_API_KEY);

export default async function handler(req, res) {
  if (req.method !== "POST") return res.status(405).send("Method Not Allowed");

  const { email, resetLink } = req.body;

  try {
    await resend.emails.send({
      from: "[email protected]",
      to: email,
      subject: "Reset Your Password",
      html: `<p>Click <a href="${resetLink}">here</a> to reset your password.</p>`,
    });

    res.status(200).json({ success: true });
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(500).json({ error: error.message });
  }
}

4. Set API Key in Vercel

• Navigate to Vercel > Project > Settings > Environment Variables
• Add RESEND_API_KEY = YOUR_RESEND_API_KEY

5. Test API (Frontend or Postman)

Send a POST request to /api/reset-password with the following JSON data:

{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "resetLink": "https://nicztin.com/reset-password?token=XYZ"
}

✅ Ready to Use
