Postmark makes parsing email easy, too.

Postmark Inbound is perfect for:

Replying to in-app messages.
Analyzing & acting on email contents.
Creating tasks, reminders, and posts.
Using email to upload files.

Flexible JSON Webhooks

We do all of the hard work of parsing headers & content and structuring emails as simple JSON documents, and deliver them to your web app over a standard HTTP POST. Never mess with MIME parsing again. We even automatically detect and encode attachments for you.

Built with Email Content in Mind

Postmark is already built and battle tested to handle the toughest emails you can throw at it, so we extended that power to process inbound emails as well. Postmark Inbound built on the same infrastructure that you rely on for outbound email, so it is redundant, reliable and scalable.

Fast & Easy Configuration

Start parsing in minutes. Use our beautiful visual interface and be ready to receive emails in minutes. Or if you're comfortable at a command line, you can set up inbound mailboxes via our simple API. If you're not sure where to start, check out our friendly documentation and code examples.

Simple Pricing

Just like Postmark Outbound, you only pay for emails as you need them with our simple credit system. Just pay $1.50 per 1000 credits (volume pricing available), Postmark inbound costs one credit per inbound message parsed and delivered to your web app. New accounts get 1000 free credits to start right away.

We use it ourselves

We’re already well known for building and running solid products like our hosted version control service Beanstalk at Wildbit. Beanstalk relies on Postmark every day, including Postmark Inbound which allows our customer to add comments to commit notifications with a quick email reply.
