Setup

Environment

Your worker must have the following environment variables.

echo $AWS_REGION | npx wrangler secret put AWS_REGION
echo $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID | npx wrangler secret put AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
echo $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY | npx wrangler secret put AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Authentication

Optionally, you may secure your endpoint by setting the following environment variable.

echo $AUTH_TOKEN | npx wrangler secret put AUTH_TOKEN

Verify Email

To use any sender email, the email must first be verified. The verification will require the following environment variables. You may populate your environment with the following.

{
  echo "AWS_REGION=$AWS_REGION"
  echo "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"
  echo "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"
} > .env

Now, pipe your email to the verify-email script.

echo $EMAIL_ADDRESS | bun verify-email
