Turn Emails Into Webhooks — Automatically
Mailhook receives emails, extracts structured data, and sends it to your API. Perfect for inbox workflows, automation, and "email-only” services.
What is Mailhook?
Email In → Webhook Out
Mailhook turns incoming emails into structured events your system can understand. Send an email, trigger a webhook, update your database, or kick off automations — without manual copy/paste.
Bring Your Own API
Connect Mailhook to any REST endpoint. Define rules for routing, parsing, and payload shaping — then let Mailhook deliver clean JSON to your backend.
Parsing & Extraction (Planned)
Start with simple text/regex extraction, then level up to templates, attachments, and structured fields. Keep it reliable first — smart second.
Why Mailhook?
-
⚡ Stop Manual Inbox Work
Automatically capture leads, receipts, support signals, reports, or form-like emails — and ship them into your tools.
-
🔒 Privacy-First by Design
Keep it minimal. Store only what’s needed to deliver events. No ad tracking, no analytics bloat — just the pipeline.
-
🧩 Works With "Email-Only” Services
Many services still communicate only by email. Mailhook makes them programmable — without brittle scraping hacks.
👥 Who is it for?
Developers, Indie Hackers & Ops Teams
If you’ve ever said "I wish this email could just hit my API,” Mailhook is for you. Ideal for internal tools, lightweight automation, and SaaS workflows.
🧐 Frequently Asked Questions
-
🚀 How does Mailhook receive emails?
Mailhook will support inbound email providers (like SES/Mailgun/Postmark) that forward incoming messages to a webhook. You connect a domain, add MX records, and Mailhook handles the rest.
-
🔒 Is my email data stored?
The goal is to store as little as possible. For MVP, we can store metadata and delivery logs — and make full-body storage optional.
-
🧱 Do I need to change my backend?
No. You expose a webhook endpoint and Mailhook POSTs JSON to it. That’s it.
-
🧠 Will it support AI extraction?
Possibly — but reliability comes first. MVP focuses on deterministic extraction, templates, and clean payloads.
