confirmation email to users

Question

Could anyone tell me how I can send a confirmation email to users when they fill out a form on the website?

@harpyasatanara You could use a service like Resend to send off emails from your serverless functions and generate those emails either traditionally or through a tool like React Email to get it as clean and simple as

import { EmailTemplate } from "@/components/EmailExample";
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from "next/server";
import { Resend } from "resend";

const resend = new Resend(process.env.RESEND_API_KEY);

export async function POST(
  request: NextRequest,
): Promise<NextResponse<string>> {
  const {
    name,
    email,
  }: { name: string | undefined; email: string | undefined } =
    await request.json();
  if (name === undefined || email === undefined) {
    return NextResponse.json("Missing name or email", { status: 400 });
  }
  const { error } = await resend.emails.send({
    from: "Acme <[email protected]>",
    to: [email],
    subject: "Hello world",
    react: EmailTemplate({ firstName: name }),
  });

  if (error) {
    return NextResponse.json(error as string, { status: 500 });
  } else {
    return NextResponse.json("Successfully sent", { status: 200 });
  }
}

• assuming NextJS & App router, Resend docs also provides examples for NextJS pages router, nodejs, php, elixer, and others
