Creates a broadcast campaign in Resend targeting a specific segment\n3. Immediately sends the broadcast to all contacts in that segment\n\n**Resend Broadcasts** work differently from individual emails:\n- They target a segment (a group of contacts)\n- Contacts who are unsubscribed are automatically excluded\n- You must include `{{{RESEND_UNSUBSCRIBE_URL}}}` in the HTML\n- Personalization uses `{{{FIRST_NAME|fallback}}}` syntax (Resend mustache)\n\n> Inspired by scheduled Gmail newsletter workflows, rebuilt using Resend's Broadcasts API for proper unsubscribe handling and list management.",
