## Server Action with Email

```tsx
// lib/actions/contact.ts
'use server';

import { contactFormSchema } from '@/lib/validations';
import { sendContactEmail } from '@/lib/emails/contact';
import type { Locale } from '@/i18n.config';

export async function submitContactForm(formData: FormData, locale: Locale) {
  const rawData = {
    name: formData.get('name'),
    email: formData.get('email'),
    phone: formData.get('phone'),
    message: formData.get('message'),
  };

  const result = contactFormSchema.safeParse(rawData);

  if (!result.success) {
    return {
      success: false,
      errors: result.error.flatten().fieldErrors,
    };
  }

  const emailResult = await sendContactEmail({
    ...result.data,
    locale,
  });

  if (!emailResult.success) {
    return {
      success: false,
      errors: { _form: ['Failed to send message. Please try again.'] },
    };
  }

  return { success: true };
}
```

## Fallback Without Resend

```tsx
// When RESEND_API_KEY is not set
export function ContactForm() {
  const hasEmail = hasResend();

  if (!hasEmail) {
    return (
      <div className="text-center p-8">
        <p>Contact us directly at:</p>
        <a href="mailto:hello@studioname.com" className="text-primary">
          hello@studioname.com
        </a>
      </div>
    );
  }

  return <ContactFormWithEmail />;
}
```
