# Cloudflare Email Service

Send transactional emails and route incoming emails to Workers or email addresses

 Available on Workers Paid plan 

Note

Cloudflare Email Service is currently in beta. Features and APIs may change before general availability.

Cloudflare Email Service provides powerful email capabilities:

* **Email Sending** for outbound transactional emails
* **Email Routing** for handling incoming emails with Workers or routing to email addresses

Together, these two features make it possible for you to send and receive emails from your applications. 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 using the [REST API](https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-service/api/send-emails/rest-api/) from any platform, or directly from Cloudflare Workers using [bindings](https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-service/api/send-emails/workers-api/):

* [ REST API (curl) ](#tab-panel-7070)
* [ index.ts (Workers) ](#tab-panel-7071)
* [ wrangler.jsonc ](#tab-panel-7072)

      text: "Welcome! Thanks for signing up."

    });


      return new Response("Email sent successfully");

    },


    // Handle incoming emails (Email Routing)

    async email(message, env, ctx): Promise<void> {

      // Forward to support team

      if (message.to.includes("support@yourdomain.com")) {

        await message.forward("team@yourdomain.com");

      }


      // Send auto-reply

      await env.EMAIL.send({
