Build a contact form and send an email with React + Next.js (End-To-End!)

Follow along and build a contact form that lets you send the information anywhere! This uses Mailgun for email, but you can send a Slack or Discord notification, SMS message, or even make a phone call!

Thank you so much, I am a new dev and am trying to get a newsletter down and couldnt find much support with axios and other next tools and didnt really feel like reading docs. Your video broke it down a lot and explained it xtremely well. Good luck out there

Very nice tutorial! I did almost the same thing, but instead I used resend to send the emails. By the way, you're so fast using VIM. do you have any tutorial about how do you configured it?

So much fun 😀 - Can you update for the new NextJS 13?

[wolfie]

but this is basically me messaging me ?
when I check who sent the email it is the user we entered so how can random people mail me for my portfolio website?

do you think also implementing a google captcha is useful when using services like mailgun? or is it not really necessary?

Hey! I made it close to the end but the only step that isn't working for me is the actual sending of the email:

Error sending email: [Error: Unauthorized] {
status: 401,
details: 'Forbidden',
type: 'MailgunAPIError'
}
