# Hono

This guide shows you how to integrate Mailtrap with Hono and send emails using the Email API.

Before we start, you'll need to:

* [Verify your sending domain](/email-api-smtp/setup/sending-domain.md)
* [Create and save an API key](/email-api-smtp/setup/api-tokens.md)

## Send emails using Hono and Mailtrap

To integrate Mailtrap and send emails via Hono, simply copy/paste the following script into your configuration:

{% code title="hono-example.ts" %}

```typescript
import { Hono } from 'hono';
import { MailtrapClient } from 'mailtrap';

const app = new Hono();
const mailtrap = new MailtrapClient({ token: 'YOUR-MAILTRAP-API-KEY-HERE' });

app.get('/', async (c) => {
  try {
    const response = await mailtrap.send({
      from: { name: 'Mailtrap Test', email: 'YOUR-EMAIL-HERE' },
      to: [{ email: 'RECIPIENT-EMAIL-HERE' }],
      subject: 'Hello World',
      html: '<strong>it works!</strong>',
    });

    console.log(response);

    return c.json(response);
  } catch (error) {
    const message = error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error';
    console.log(message);
    
    return c.json({ message }, 400);
  }
});

export default app;
```

{% endcode %}

Once you copy the script, make sure to insert your Mailtrap API token in the `token` field and enter your and your recipient's emails in the `from` and `to` fields.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.mailtrap.io/guides/integrations/hono.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
