**Keyword:** cloudflare email routing send email
**Audience:** people building a practical custom-domain mailbox around Cloudflare

## Short answer

DomainSend is a web inbox for Cloudflare-powered email — turning inbound routing into a complete email workflow.

First three domains are free; Pro is $10/month for 12 domains; Agency is $60/month unlimited.

“Cloudflare Email Routing send email” is the search people make when inbound finally works and outbound still feels unfinished. Routing decides where received mail goes. Sending is a separate path — and a usable compose UI is the third piece most setups forget.

## Inbound routing does not equal outbound send

Email Routing is built around destinations for mail that arrives at your domain. You can forward, drop, or hand messages to a Worker. That does not automatically give you a From address, SPF/DKIM alignment story, or a compose window your team trusts.

Cloudflare’s email sending capabilities (including Worker bindings in Email Service docs) cover the infrastructure side of outbound. They still leave you needing somewhere to write the reply, attach a file, and see what you sent.

## The four steps of a complete Cloudflare mail loop

Treat receive and send as one workflow, not two unrelated projects.

- Receive: Email Routing delivers to your chosen destination or Worker.
- Store and list: messages are available with unread state and folders.
- Compose: you write a reply in a real editor, not a one-off script.
- Send: outbound leaves with the branded address and shows up in Sent.

## Where sending setups usually stall

Teams often wire inbound in an afternoon, then spend weeks on outbound because the pieces live in different places: DNS records in Cloudflare, sending credentials or Worker config elsewhere, and “just use Gmail SMTP” as the temporary fix that becomes permanent.

The stall is rarely “Cloudflare cannot send.” It is “nobody owns the product surface where sending feels like email.” That surface is the client.

## How DomainSend closes the send loop

DomainSend is built for the full daily loop on Cloudflare-powered email: read, organize, compose, and send in one web inbox. You are not jumping from a forward destination to a separate SMTP tool every time someone needs a reply.

If you searched for Cloudflare Email Routing send email because receive already works, DomainSend is the compose-and-send layer that makes the workflow feel finished. First three domains are free; Pro is $10/month for 12 domains; Agency is $60/month unlimited.

Receive is only half the loop. The [real inbox for Cloudflare Email Routing](/cloudflare-email-routing-inbox/) is where compose and send live next to the mail you already route.
