Build what happens next.
Receive email on your domain or a forwarding address. Use the webhook’s message reference to fetch the body and attachments.
Inbound email, explained.
Do I need a domain to receive email?
No. A generated forwarding address lets you forward an existing inbox without DNS changes. Receiving directly on your own subdomain requires its MX records.
Does the webhook include the whole message?
The email.received webhook contains message metadata and its inbound message ID. Fetch the body, attachments or original MIME through the inbound-message API when you need them.
How long are received messages retained?
Received messages are retained for 30 days. If your application needs a longer history, retrieve and store the required data under your own retention policy.
Scale without losing control.
Organize teams in workspaces, control API access, and trace changes through audit logs.
