Receiving Introduction

Mailofly allows you to accept inbound emails on your own domain, parse the headers, body, and attachments, and route them to your application via Inbound Webhooks.

​
Common Use Cases

  • Help Desk & Support: Receive replies to support tickets and route them to customer chat or ticket threads.
  • AI Inboxes & Autonomous Agents: Give an AI agent its own email address (agent@yourdomain.com) to read incoming inquiries and respond autonomously.
  • Email-to-Action Workflows: Create tasks, parse invoice receipts, or process data submissions sent via email.
  • Forwarding: Automatically forward incoming emails to your personal or team address.

​
Architecture

  1. DNS MX Record: Routes incoming mail for your domain or subdomain to Mailofly.
  2. Inbound Processing: Mailofly receives the raw MIME message, validates SPF/DKIM, parses headers, plaintext/HTML, and decodes attachments.
  3. Webhook Emission: A structured email.received JSON payload is delivered via HTTP POST to your webhook endpoint.
