Add Domain to Resend
First, log in to your Resend Account and add a domain.
It is best practice to use a
subdomain
(updates.example.com) instead of the root domain (example.com). This allows
for proper reputation segmentation based on topics or purpose (e.g.
transactional and marketing).

Domainstab - Choose your Domain from the
Domain portfoliolist. - Select the
