Email mode

The Receive Email Action in Email mode emits Events when its uniquely generated email address receives an email.

Emails received at this generated email address are stored on a shared AWS S3 bucket (with region isolation) and deleted after 7 days.

Features 

When this mode is enabled:

  • Receive emails at a uniquely generated email address.

  • Emails received will be parsed and emitted as a JSON event.

This mode is unavailable for self-hosted deployments at this time.

Configuration Options 

  • mode: A string denoting the Receive Email Action's mode of operation, in this case: email.

  • include_rfc822: Optionally include the raw message, in RFC 822 format, in emitted events (under the rfc822 key).
