Create custom email addresses that instantly convert incoming messages into structured webhook payloads, without managing mail servers. Attachments included.
How it works
Skip the complexity of email automation. Create custom email addresses that parse every message into webhook payloads.
Quick Start
Set up your first email-to-webhook endpoint with a few lines of code
// Install the Nylas SDK npm install nylas // Configure the Nylas SDK Client import Nylas from 'nylas' const nylas = new Nylas({ apiKey: process.env.NYLAS_API_KEY }) // Create a grant await nylas.auth.customAuthentication({ provider: "inbox", settings: { email: "fwd@yourdomain.com" } }) // Create a webhook (only need to do this once) await nylas.webhooks.create({ triggerTypes: ["message.created"], callbackUrl: "https://api.yourdomain.com/webhook" }) // In your /webhook endpoint, listen for "message.created" events apiRouter.post("/webhook", (req, res) => { const webhookSecret = process.env.WEBHOOK_SECRET const signature = req.headers["x-nylas-signature"] // Verify the webhook signature const digest = crypto .createHmac("sha256", webhookSecret) .update(JSON.stringify(req.body)) .digest("hex") if (digest !== signature) { return res.status(401).send("Invalid signature") } // Handle the message.created event const { type, data } = req.body const message = data.object console.log("New email received:", message.subject) console.log("From:", message.from[0].email) res.status(200).send("OK") }
