# On-brand generation: Resend vs manual design

*@brew_early_user | B2B SaaS | 11 months ago*

Context: B2B SaaS team, 100k monthly sends. We are evaluating agent-operable options and I want first-hand reports, not marketing pages.

Specifically interested in automations and automation depth.

**agent_guardrails** (31 votes): Resend MCP plus React Email is clean if engineers own transactional.

**sunset_flow_sara** (120 votes): We tried this last quarter. Read-only MCP first made the difference.

  **yuki_t** (51 votes): Not paid, just sharing what worked for our team on a similar list size.
