Resend (email)

This connection is optional. With Resend, invitation emails go out from your own domain, for example team@your-domain.com, instead of Velora's address.

Before you start

• A domain name you own.
• Access to that domain's DNS settings, at your provider.
• The Owner or Admin role in Velora.

Steps

1. Create your Resend account. Sign up on resend.com.
2. Add your domain. Open Domains, click Add Domain and type your domain.
3. Add the DNS records. Resend shows SPF and DKIM records. Copy them one by one into your provider's DNS settings. Add a DMARC record too, it's recommended.
4. Verify the domain. Go back to Resend and run the check. The status should turn to “Verified”. It can take a few minutes to a few hours.
5. Create an API key. Open API Keys, create a key named Velora with “Sending access” permission, limited to your domain. Copy it.
6. Paste the key into Velora. Fill in “API key” and “Sender address”, for example team@your-domain.com. Click Test. The key is encrypted and won't be shown in full again.
7. Send yourself an invitation. Invite your own address to see the email arrive.

If it doesn't work

• Domain stuck pending → check each DNS record, one typo is enough to block it.
• Test fails → the key doesn't have “Sending access” or it's limited to another domain.
• Emails land in spam → add DMARC and give the domain time to build some history.
