Cursor Resend Emails Not Sending From Contact Form
Quick Answer
How do I fix Cursor Resend Emails Not Sending From Contact Form?
The form write flow and the email notification flow are disconnected. Cursor may be saving the lead correctly, but the Resend call is missing, failing silently, or not triggered after a successful write. Start with "Check whether the form saves data first" before making broader code changes.

Why this happens
The form write flow and the email notification flow are disconnected. Cursor may be saving the lead correctly, but the Resend call is missing, failing silently, or not triggered after a successful write.
Fix
Check whether the form saves data first
Confirm the form submission reaches the database or server. If the write itself fails, fix that first before debugging email.
Add a server-side email notification step in Cursor
Use this prompt to wire the form and email steps together safely.
Copy this prompt
The contact form saves data but does not send the Resend email notification. Please update the server-side submission flow so that after a successful save, the app sends a Resend email to the site owner and returns a clear success or error state.
Add logging around the email send step
Make sure the server logs whether the email send succeeded or failed so this does not stay silent in production.
Prevent this next time
Treat form submission and email notification as two separate steps. Save the record first, then send the email, and log both outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Usually no. Save the lead first, then attempt the email. That way you still keep the submission even if email has a temporary failure.
Check both your server logs and the Resend dashboard activity logs.
