For example, you can use Email Service for: * Transactional emails (welcome messages, password resets, order confirmations) * Authentication flows (magic links, email verification, two-factor authentication) * Notifications and alerts * Custom email addresses (support@, contact@, orders@) * Emails as a mode of interaction for agents, such as send an email to create an issue in ticket tracking Access Email Service directly from Cloudflare Workers using [bindings](https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-service/api/send-emails/workers-api/), from any platform using the [REST API](https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-service/api/send-emails/rest-api/), or over [authenticated SMTP](https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-service/api/send-emails/smtp/): * [ Workers ](#tab-panel-8799) * [ API ](#tab-panel-8800) * [ SMTP ](#tab-panel-8801) Send emails with the `EMAIL` binding and handle incoming emails with the `email()` handler in `src/index.ts`: TypeScript ``` interface Env { EMAIL: SendEmail;} export default { // Handle HTTP requests (Email Sending) async fetch(request, env, ctx): Promise { // Send a welcome email await env.EMAIL.send({ to: "user@example.com", from: "welcome@yourdomain.com", subject: "Welcome to our service!", html: "
