Receiving Emails for Your Product: Set It Up for Free with Cloudflare Email Routing

If you're building a product for global users, you've probably run into this problem: your website lists support@yourdomain.com, but when a user actually sends an email, you never receive it.

That's because most people use Resend strictly for outbound — verification codes, notifications, newsletters — and never bother setting up inbound email.

The Solution: Cloudflare Email Routing

Cloudflare offers a free feature called Email Routing that handles exactly this.

Configuration Steps

1. Open the Cloudflare Dashboard and navigate to Email Routing
2. Add your custom domain email address (e.g., support@yourdomain.com)
3. Set a forwarding destination (your personal Gmail or any other inbox)
4. Verify the destination email address
5. Complete the DNS record configuration

Once set up, any email sent to support@yourdomain.com will be automatically forwarded to your personal inbox — completely free of charge.

A Complete Outbound + Inbound Email Setup

• Outbound: Resend (sign-up verification, notifications, newsletters)
• Inbound: Cloudflare Email Routing (support requests, user feedback)

Together, these two tools give you a fully functional email solution for your product, at zero cost.
