Sanity Resend: Complete Email Management in Your CMS
by Matthew Rhoads, Founder / Developer
Email management is often the forgotten stepchild of content management systems. Marketing teams struggle with developer handoffs, version control nightmares, and the inability to preview changes before sending. That's why we built Sanity Resend - a collection of plugins and template that transforms Sanity into a complete email management platform.

I presented this solution at a Sanity event, walking through the architecture, implementation details, and real-world use cases that drove us to build this integration.
The Problem We Solved
Before diving into the solution, let's acknowledge the pain points most teams face:
- Template Fragmentation: Email templates live in code, while content lives in the CMS
- Developer Bottleneck: Every email change requires a developer
- Context Switching: Changing tasks and losing time
- Version Control Issues: No clear history of email template changes
- Testing Friction: Sending test emails requires technical setup
Our Solution: Unified Email Operations
The Sanity Resend solution brings together three powerful tools:
- Sanity Studio for content management and workflow
- Resend for reliable email delivery
- React Email for component-based, responsive templates
- Built-in audience management for subscriber lists
This combination creates a seamless workflow where content teams can create, test, and send emails without leaving Sanity Studio.
Key Features That Make a Difference
Visual Email Builder
Content teams can build emails using familiar Sanity blocks - no HTML knowledge required. Add images, buttons, product cards, and rich text with instant preview.
Complete Audience Management
No more exporting CSVs or syncing with external tools. Manage subscribers, segments, and preferences directly in Sanity.
Template Versioning
Every change is tracked in Sanity's revision history. Roll back to any previous version, see who made changes, and maintain a complete audit trail.
