Supabase does not provide a general-purpose email API for sending arbitrary emails like a mail provider (SendGrid, Resend, Mailgun, Postmark, etc.).
What Supabase does support:
1) Auth emails
Supabase Auth can send built-in emails such as:
- sign up / confirmation
- magic links
- password reset
- email change
You can configure:
- SMTP settings
- custom email templates
- redirect URLs
2) Email triggering from your app
If you want to send custom emails, the usual approach is:
- use Supabase Edge Functions or your backend
- connect to an email service like:
- Resend
- SendGrid
- Mailgun
- Postmark
- AWS SES
3) Common pattern
Example flow:
- user action happens in Supabase
- Edge Function is triggered
- Edge Function calls email provider API
- email gets sent
If you want, I can give you:
- a Supabase Edge Function example for sending email, or
- the setup for Supabase Auth SMTP emails.
