## Send emails with named recipient addresses

[Email Service](https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-service/)

Copy as Markdown| [View as Markdown](https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post/2026-05-28-named-email-recipients/index.md)| [Agent setup](https://developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

You can now send emails with display names on recipient addresses in addition to the existing `from` support. Pass an object with `email` and an optional `name` field for `to`, `cc`, `bcc`, `replyTo`, or `from`:

*src/index.jsjs*

```js
export default {
	async fetch(request, env) {
		const response = await env.EMAIL.send({
			from: { email: "support@example.com", name: "Support Team" },
			to: { email: "jane@example.com", name: "Jane Doe" },
			cc: [
				"manager@company.com",
				{ email: "team@company.com", name: "Engineering Team" },
			],
			subject: "Welcome!",
			html: "<h1>Thanks for joining!</h1>",
			text: "Thanks for joining!",
		});

		return Response.json({ messageId: response.messageId });
	},
};
```

*src/index.tsts*

```ts
export default {
	async fetch(request, env): Promise<Response> {
		const response = await env.EMAIL.send({
			from: { email: "support@example.com", name: "Support Team" },
			to: { email: "jane@example.com", name: "Jane Doe" },
			cc: [
				"manager@company.com",
				{ email: "team@company.com", name: "Engineering Team" },
			],
			subject: "Welcome!",
			html: "<h1>Thanks for joining!</h1>",
			text: "Thanks for joining!",
		});

		return Response.json({ messageId: response.messageId });
	},
} satisfies ExportedHandler<Env>;
```

Plain strings remain fully supported for backward compatibility, and you can mix strings and named objects in the same array.

Refer to the [Workers API](https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-service/api/send-emails/workers-api/) and [REST API](https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-service/api/send-emails/rest-api/) documentation for full request examples.
