On Monday, we expanded Resend from being an email API to a no-code tool for technical and non-technical team members to engage with their audience.

Broadcasts are designed to help you send email blasts using our WYSIWYG editor, with extensive inbox support out-of-the-box thanks to [React Email](https://react.email).

It also comes with email testing, markdown support, performance tracking, and 1,000 contacts for free.

On Tuesday, we announced a new way to manage recipients.

Audiences allows you to add, update, retrieve, and remove contacts without having to worry about the entire unsubscribe flow. All with our [9 new API endpoints](https://resend.com/docs/api-reference/audiences/create-audience).

Importing contacts is easy with our simple CSV wizard and comes with support for `email`, `first_name`, `last_name`, and `unsubscribed` as custom attributes.

On Wednesday, we launched our first region in Asia: Tokyo, Japan.

With the Tokyo region, we're excited that now our users in Asia can take advantage of the multi-region benefits like faster delivery, easier account management, and increased resilience.
