How it works

Set up in 5 minutes

No forwarding rules. No MX changes

1

Connect inbox credentials

Add IMAP login/password or OAuth2 tokens for Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or any IMAP server

2

Set your webhook URL

Tell us where to POST. Works with your API, Zapier, Make, n8n, Pipedream, or any endpoint

3

Choose start timestamp

Sync from mailbox creation or any point in time. Backfill history as needed

4

Receive clean JSON webhooks

Every inbound email arrives as a structured, normalized payload. Real-time via IMAP IDLE

5

Add AI-powered email processing (add-on)

Extract contacts from signatures, classify emails, or run custom prompts. All optional

The problem

Inbound email ingestion is painful

You need inbound email as clean JSON webhooks. But IMAP plumbing and messy email content turn it into a maintenance trap

IMAP is a mess

Raw IMAP requires managing connections, handling edge cases, and parsing MIME structures. It's not just hard - it's maintenance-heavy

HTML is ugly

Email HTML is bloated, inconsistent, and full of legacy cruft. Cleaning it into usable text is a project in itself

Thread history piles up

'On Monday, John wrote...' chains make emails unreadable for automation. Extracting just the latest reply is painful

Encodings break

Charset mismatches, base64 blocks, and malformed headers turn simple text into garbage. Fixing them is tedious regex work

Timestamps are inconsistent

Email dates come in different formats, timezones, and sometimes missing entirely. Normalizing "Received" vs "Date" headers into reliable timestamps is error-prone

Attachments are complex

MIME multipart structures, nested encodings, and filename encoding issues make attachment extraction unreliable. One wrong parse and you lose the file

Core features

Everything you need to ingest email

A simple, reliable utility. Connect inboxes, get webhooks, build features

IMAP connectivity

Works with Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and any IMAP server. OAuth2 or login/password

Real-time webhooks

Near-instant delivery via persistent IMAP IDLE connections. No polling delays

History backfill

Sync from any point in time - mailbox creation or a custom start date - and pull historical email into your analytics

No MX changes

Bring Your Own Email. Emails stay unread in the inbox; users keep working as usual. No forwarding, no special addresses, no DNS edits

Accurate metadata

Normalized timezones, dates, and sent times. No forwarding mailbox - the customer's address stays the sender, so your data doesn't get mixed up

Clean JSON payloads

Normalized text, extracted replies. Use AI with your own prompt to reshape emails into the JSON your task needs

Clean email, not chaos

Raw email is messy. We normalize everything so you can build features instead of parsers

signature

Attachments

Attachment handling

Hosted Presigned URLs

Attachments uploaded to S3-compatible storage. You receive secure, time-limited URLs

Lightweight JSON payloads (metadata + URLs)

Secure, expiring links (signed URLs; TTL configurable)
Rich metadata per file: filename, MIME type, size, and attachment ID
Clean handling of inline files (inline images flagged separately)
Delivery reliability: retries with backoff + unique message IDs for deduplication
Retention controls: configurable storage lifetime and deletion support (optional)

Security & Compliance

Enterprise-grade security

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about getting started

About 5 minutes. Add inbox credentials or OAuth tokens, set your webhook URL, choose a start timestamp, and you're done. No complex configuration or forwarding rules.

No. We connect directly to the mailbox via IMAP. Users keep their real inbox. No MX changes, no special addresses, no forwarding rules to maintain.

Gmail, Outlook/Office 365, Yahoo, and any standard IMAP server. We support both login/password and OAuth2 authentication.

Yes. You choose a "start syncing from" timestamp when connecting. This can be the mailbox creation date or any point in time. We'll sync all emails from that date forward.

We fix broken character encodings, strip bloated HTML, remove quoted thread history ("On Monday, John wrote…"), and extract the signature. You get clean text_content, latest_reply, and a structured signature object.

Attachments are uploaded to S3-compatible storage; you receive secure, time-limited presigned URLs. The webhook payload stays lightweight (metadata and URLs only-no file bloat). Each file includes rich metadata (filename, MIME type, size, attachment ID). Inline files and images are handled separately. Signed URLs have configurable TTL, and you can set retention and deletion rules.

Absolutely. Our webhooks can be consumed by Zapier, Make, Pipedream, n8n or any tool that accepts HTTP POST requests. We even have examples for mapping webhook fields to these platforms.

Yes. We ingest mail via IMAP; you can receive webhooks and forward structured data to SendGrid, Mailgun or any outbound API. If you're already using those providers to send emails, our inbound layer fits alongside them.

You can push parsed email data into Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive or other CRMs via their APIs, and send alerts or threads to Slack via webhook. Our payloads include all the fields you need for mapping (from, subject, body, attachments, etc.).

Near real‑time. We use persistent IMAP IDLE connections, so new emails are detected within seconds and webhooks are dispatched immediately.
