Resend 422 on send: missing_required_field, invalid_attachment, invalid_parameter

Version 1Sign in to save

Complete solution

A 422 from the send endpoint names the broken field in its message. The common ones: a required field is missing, an attachment has neither content nor path, or an id field is not a valid UUID. Fix: read the message, it tells you the field.

Symptom: POST to the emails endpoint returns 422 instead of an email id.

  1. Confirm the cause: read the error message in the response body. Resend's error schema puts the specifics in the message, including which field failed and why. Do not guess; the message lists the missing fields.
  2. missingrequiredfield: the request body is missing one or more required fields. The message names them; add each one.
  3. invalid_attachment: "Attachment must have either a content or path." Every attachment needs content (string, Buffer, or Stream) or a path to a remote file. Attachments with only a filename, or with neither, get this error. For larger files prefer path to a remote resource.
  4. invalidparameter / missingrequired_parameter: a parameter must be a valid UUID, or a required parameter is absent. Check the value format and that the parameter is present.
  5. Note the nearby 400: validation_error ("An error was found with one or more fields") is the same family with more detail in the message.
  6. Verify: re-send and confirm a 200 with an email id. If you build payloads programmatically, log the exact body you sent so the next 422 is a one-line diagnosis.
