Essential Code (USE THIS)

核心代码(推荐使用)

Express Webhook Handler (Using Resend SDK)

Express Webhook处理器(使用Resend SDK)

javascript
const express = require('express');
const { Resend } = require('resend');

const resend = new Resend(process.env.RESEND_API_KEY);
const app = express();

// CRITICAL: Use express.raw() for webhook endpoint - Resend needs raw body
app.post('/webhooks/resend',
  express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }),
  async (req, res) => {
    try {
      // Verify signature using Resend SDK (uses Svix under the hood)
      const event = resend.webhooks.verify({
        payload: req.body.toString(),
        headers: {
          id: req.headers['svix-id'],           // Note: short key names
          timestamp: req.headers['svix-timestamp'],
          signature: req.headers['svix-signature'],
        },
        webhookSecret: process.env.RESEND_WEBHOOK_SECRET  // whsec_xxxxx
      });

      // Handle the event
      switch (event.type) {
        case 'email.sent':
          console.log('Email sent:', event.data.email_id);
          break;
        case 'email.delivered':
          console.log('Email delivered:', event.data.email_id);
          break;
        case 'email.bounced':
          console.log('Email bounced:', event.data.email_id);
          break;
        case 'email.received':
          console.log('Email received:', event.data.email_id);
          // For inbound emails, fetch full content via API
          break;
        default:
          console.log('Unhandled event:', event.type);
      }

      res.json({ received: true });
    } catch (err) {
      console.error('Webhook verification failed:', err.message);
      return res.status(400).send(`Webhook Error: ${err.message}`);
    }
  }
);
javascript
const express = require('express');
const { Resend } = require('resend');

const resend = new Resend(process.env.RESEND_API_KEY);
const app = express();

// CRITICAL: Use express.raw() for webhook endpoint - Resend needs raw body
app.post('/webhooks/resend',
  express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }),
  async (req, res) => {
    try {
      // Verify signature using Resend SDK (uses Svix under the hood)
      const event = resend.webhooks.verify({
        payload: req.body.toString(),
        headers: {
          id: req.headers['svix-id'],           // Note: short key names
          timestamp: req.headers['svix-timestamp'],
          signature: req.headers['svix-signature'],
        },
        webhookSecret: process.env.RESEND_WEBHOOK_SECRET  // whsec_xxxxx
      });

      // Handle the event
      switch (event.type) {
        case 'email.sent':
          console.log('Email sent:', event.data.email_id);
          break;
        case 'email.delivered':
          console.log('Email delivered:', event.data.email_id);
          break;
        case 'email.bounced':
          console.log('Email bounced:', event.data.email_id);
          break;
        case 'email.received':
          console.log('Email received:', event.data.email_id);
          // For inbound emails, fetch full content via API
          break;
        default:
          console.log('Unhandled event:', event.type);
      }

      res.json({ received: true });
    } catch (err) {
      console.error('Webhook verification failed:', err.message);
      return res.status(400).send(`Webhook Error: ${err.message}`);
    }
  }
);

Express Webhook Handler (Manual Verification)

Express Webhook处理器(手动验证)

For manual verification without the SDK, or for other languages:
javascript
const express = require('express');
const crypto = require('crypto');

const app = express();

function verifySvixSignature(payload, headers, secret) {
  const msgId = headers['svix-id'];
  const msgTimestamp = headers['svix-timestamp'];
  const msgSignature = headers['svix-signature'];
  
  if (!msgId || !msgTimestamp || !msgSignature) return false;
  
  // Check timestamp (5 min tolerance)
  const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
  if (Math.abs(now - parseInt(msgTimestamp)) > 300) return false;
  
  // Remove 'whsec_' prefix and decode secret
  const secretBytes = Buffer.from(secret.replace('whsec_', ''), 'base64');
  
  // Compute expected signature
  const signedContent = `${msgId}.${msgTimestamp}.${payload}`;
  const expectedSig = crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', secretBytes)
    .update(signedContent)
    .digest('base64');
  
  // Check against provided signatures
  for (const sig of msgSignature.split(' ')) {
    if (sig.startsWith('v1,') && sig.slice(3) === expectedSig) return true;
  }
  return false;
}

app.post('/webhooks/resend',
  express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }),
  (req, res) => {
    const payload = req.body.toString();
    
    if (!verifySvixSignature(payload, req.headers, process.env.RESEND_WEBHOOK_SECRET)) {
      return res.status(400).send('Invalid signature');
    }
    
    const event = JSON.parse(payload);
    // Handle event...
    res.json({ received: true });
  }
);
适用于不使用SDK的手动验证,或其他语言场景:
javascript
const express = require('express');
const crypto = require('crypto');

const app = express();

function verifySvixSignature(payload, headers, secret) {
  const msgId = headers['svix-id'];
  const msgTimestamp = headers['svix-timestamp'];
  const msgSignature = headers['svix-signature'];
  
  if (!msgId || !msgTimestamp || !msgSignature) return false;
  
  // Check timestamp (5 min tolerance)
  const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
  if (Math.abs(now - parseInt(msgTimestamp)) > 300) return false;
  
  // Remove 'whsec_' prefix and decode secret
  const secretBytes = Buffer.from(secret.replace('whsec_', ''), 'base64');
  
  // Compute expected signature
  const signedContent = `${msgId}.${msgTimestamp}.${payload}`;
  const expectedSig = crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', secretBytes)
    .update(signedContent)
    .digest('base64');
  
  // Check against provided signatures
  for (const sig of msgSignature.split(' ')) {
    if (sig.startsWith('v1,') && sig.slice(3) === expectedSig) return true;
  }
  return false;
}

app.post('/webhooks/resend',
  express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }),
  (req, res) => {
    const payload = req.body.toString();
    
    if (!verifySvixSignature(payload, req.headers, process.env.RESEND_WEBHOOK_SECRET)) {
      return res.status(400).send('Invalid signature');
    }
    
    const event = JSON.parse(payload);
    // Handle event...
    res.json({ received: true });
  }
);
