Prepare Resend

1. In the Resend dashboard, click Create API Key and give it Sending access, or full access if you also use webhooks.
2. Go to Domains, add your sending domain, and complete the DNS verification. For tests, you can use the shared domain of Resend, onboarding@resend.dev. In production, use a verified domain of your own.

Add the provider in Casdoor

1. In the Casdoor admin console, go to Identity > Providers and add a provider.

2. Set Category to Email and Type to Resend.

3. Fill in the fields:

   Campo	Descripción
   Clave Secreta	Your Resend API key
   Dirección del Remitente	Verified sender address (e.g. no-reply@yourdomain.com)
   From Name	(Optional) Sender display name
   Titulo del Email	Email subject template
   Contenido del Email	Email body (HTML supported)

   Leave Host, Port, and Username empty. Resend doesn't use them.

4. Save the provider.

Verify the result

Click Send Testing Email and check that the message arrives, before you add the provider to an application.
