### 1. Environment Variables

45+
-d '{"to": "your-email@example.com"}'
46+
```
47+
48+
#### Test in the UI:
49+
1. Start your development server: `npm run dev`
50+
2. Go to the chat interface
51+
3. Ask a question and get a response
52+

62+
63+
### 6. API Endpoints
64+
65+
- `POST /api/email/chat` - Send chat response via email
66+
- `POST /api/email/test` - Send test email
67+
68+
### 7. Troubleshooting
69+
70+
#### Common Issues:
71+
72+
1. **"Invalid API Key"**: Check that `SENDGRID_API_KEY` is set correctly
73+
2. **"Sender not verified"**: Ensure your domain is verified in SendGrid
74+
3. **"Email not received"**: Check spam folder, verify recipient email
75+
76+
#### Debug Steps:
77+
78+
1. Check environment variables: `console.log(process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY)`
79+
2. Test with the test endpoint: `/api/email/test`
80+
3. Check SendGrid dashboard for delivery status
81+
4. Verify DNS records are propagated
82+
83+
### 8. Usage Examples
84+
85+
#### User Interface:
86+
```typescript
87+
// User clicks email button → modal opens → enters email → sends
88+
```
89+
90+
#### AI Assistant:
91+
```typescript
92+
// User: "Email this analysis to john@example.com"
93+
// AI: Uses sendEmail tool to send the response
94+
```
95+
96+
#### Direct API:
97+
```typescript
98+
const response = await fetch('/api/email/chat', {
99+
method: 'POST',
100+
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
101+
body: JSON.stringify({
102+
to: 'recipient@example.com',
103+
messageContent: 'AI response content',
104+
conversationId: 'conv-123'
105+
})
106+
});
107+
```
108+
109+
## Security Notes
110+
111+
- API key is server-side only (not exposed to client)
112+
- Email validation prevents injection attacks
113+
- Rate limiting should be implemented for production
114+
- Consider implementing user authentication for email features
115+
116+
## Next Steps
117+
118+
1. Test the integration with the test endpoint
119+
2. Verify emails are received and formatted correctly
120+
3. Test the UI email functionality
121+
4. Consider adding email templates for different types of responses
122+
5. Implement rate limiting for production use
