To reliably track transactional email delivery in a Next.js application, the standard architecture involves using an email provider with webhook support (such as Resend, SendGrid, or Postmark) paired with a Next.js Route Handler (/api/webhooks/email) to capture real-time delivery, open, click, and bounce events.
Here is a complete, production-ready implementation using Resend (the most seamless email API for Next.js and React).
1. Set Up the Webhook Route Handler
Create a Next.js App Router Route Handler to catch incoming status updates from your email provider. Webhooks must be verified using signatures to ensure incoming requests actually originate from your email service.
