Recipient data requirements

#

To send an email notification you'll need a valid email property set on your recipient.

Debugging common errors

#

Identity not found

#

If you see an Identity not found error in your delivery logs this is because you need to verify your sending domain with Resend (the From email address).

Delivery tracking

Delivery tracking for Resend can result in the following status updates to your message:

  • The message delivery is confirmed and Knock updates the message to delivered
  • The message was not delivered due to a bounce and Knock updates the message to bounced
