Send React Emails Code Example in 2025
Send React web app emails with HTML, CSS, and JSX templates, examples, and SMTP production-ready integration.
Install and Requirements
You will need to install @react-email/render ve nodemailer npm dependencies:
npm install @react-email/render nodemailer
Source Code and Example
Create your email template with a .jsx or a .js file:
// email.jsx
import * as React from 'react';
import { Html } from '@react-email/html';
import { Button } from '@react-email/button';
export function Email(props) {
const { url } = props;
return (
<Html lang="en">
<Button href={url}>Visit our website</Button>
</Html>
);
}
In this example, we use the Nodemailer library and its official sponsor Forward Email to send and preview outbound mail.
You will need to Generate Password to send outbound mail – please follow our Send Email with Custom Domain SMTP Guide.
// app.js
import { render } from '@react-email/render';
import nodemailer from 'nodemailer';
import { Email } from './email';
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'smtp.forwardemail.net',
port: 465,
secure: true,
auth: {
// TODO: replace user and pass values from:
// <https://forwardemail.net/guides/send-email-with-custom-domain-smtp>
user: 'you@example.com',
pass: '****************************'
},
});
const html = render(Email({ url: "https://example.com" }));
const options = {
from: 'you@example.com',
to: 'user@gmail.com',
subject: 'hello world',
html
};
transporter.sendMail(options);
Run the app to send the email:
node app
Now you can go to My Account → Emails to see your real-time email delivery status, email deliverability logs, and HTML/plaintext/attachment previews.
P.S. 🎉 You can also preview emails in browsers and the iOS Simulator ve create email templates with Node.js.
