How to Convert Incoming Emails to Webhooks and JSON

The Problem with Email

Email is the universal communication protocol, but it wasn't built for machines. It's messy, unstructured, and hard to integrate with modern software stacks. Developers often spend hours writing custom parsers just to get data out of an email and into their database.

Enter Email to Webhook

Email to Webhook technology bridges this gap. It turns an incoming email into a structured HTTP POST request (Webhook), delivering the email data as a clean JSON payload to your application.

Use Cases

1. Parse Invoices: Automatically extract total amounts and vendors from invoice emails.
2. Customer Support: Create tickets in your custom CRM whenever a support email arrives.
3. CI/CD Triggers: Trigger deployment pipelines via email commands.
4. Legacy System Integration: Connect old systems that only send email reports to your modern dashboard.

How MailHook Makes It Easy

With MailHook, you get a unique email address (e.g., your-endpoint@mailhook.in). Any email sent to this address is instantly:

• Parsed: Headers, body (HTML/Text), and attachments are separated.
• Converted: Transformed into a standard JSON format.
• Delivered: Posted to your specified Webhook URL.

Example JSON Payload

Here is what you might receive:

{
  "subject": "New Order #12345",
  "from": "customer@example.com",
  "text": "Please process this order...",
  "attachments": [...]
}

Stop writing email parsers. Start using Webhooks.
