Core Concepts
Inbox Addresses and Domain Behavior
How inbox address tokens map to your inbound domain and routing behavior.
Each inbox has an address_token that forms a routable email address.
Address format
<address_token>@<inbound_domain>
The inbound domain is configured in your environment and must be connected to your email routing setup.
Operational guidance
Use stable tokens
Avoid recycling tokens between unrelated workflows to reduce confusion during replay/debug.
Separate environments
Use different tokens or domains for staging and production for safer rollout.
Label by use case
Name inboxes by workflow intent (for example invoices, alerts, support).
Common pitfalls
- Domain not configured in routing provider.
- Sending to a token that belongs to a different account.
- No active routing attached to an inbox receiving email.
