# Mimeo and Resend

Send Mimeo newsletters, sequences and flows through your own Resend account: API key, verified domain and webhooks, and what Resend costs at your volume.

**The short version:** Resend delivers, and Mimeo does everything else: the list, flows, sequences, broadcasts, unsubscribe headers and suppression. Connect your Resend API key, verify your domain, and set up webhooks so bounces and complaints come back to your Mimeo.

## What Mimeo does with Resend

- **Everything but delivery.** Resend adds nothing to the email, so Mimeo sets the [List-Unsubscribe](https://mimeohq.com/glossary/list-unsubscribe) headers, the unsubscribe page, suppression and pacing itself.
- **Checks the domain before it sends.** Mimeo reads your verified domains from Resend and holds an email from an unverified domain in the queue.
- **Paces large sends.** Mimeo keeps to Resend's rate limit and your own sending pace, whichever is lower.
- **Brings bounces and complaints back.** Resend's webhooks report each bounce and complaint, and Mimeo suppresses the person at send time.

## Setting it up

1. Verify your sending domain in Resend and wait for its DNS to check out.
2. In Mimeo, open **Settings → Provider** and choose Resend. Paste a Full access API key and a webhook secret, then **Save & connect**.
3. Press **Verify connection**. It reports which domains Resend has verified.
4. Connect the same domain under **Settings → Domains & senders** with one CNAME record, so the links in your email ride your domain too.
5. Add the webhook URL Mimeo shows in Resend.

## What Resend costs

Resend bills its email API by emails sent a month. On its pricing page on November 9, 2026, the Pro plan was $35 a month for 100,000 emails. Resend's separate marketing plans bill by contacts, from $80 a month at 10,000; with Mimeo you don't need them, because Mimeo holds your list.

## Questions

### Do I need Resend's marketing plan?

No. Mimeo sends through Resend's email API, so your list, flows and broadcasts live in Mimeo, not in Resend.

### Why does Mimeo need a Full access API key?

A key with Sending access only can't read your verified domains, so Verify connection fails and Mimeo's send-time domain check would have nothing to check against.

### What happens if I skip the webhooks?

Bounces and complaints at Resend never reach your Mimeo. Mimeo doesn't read Resend's suppressions API, so webhooks are the only way they arrive.
