Features

  • Webhook-based receiving: Set up webhooks to receive inbound emails in real-time
  • Email parsing: Extract structured data from incoming emails (sender, subject, body, attachments)
  • Attachment handling: Download and process email attachments securely
  • Security guidelines: Built-in security levels from strict allowlists to sandboxed processing
  • Event-driven architecture: React to incoming emails with automated workflows

Security Levels

The skill includes five security levels you can implement based on your needs:

  1. Strict Allowlist — Only process emails from pre-approved senders. Recommended for most use cases.
  2. Domain Allowlist — Allow emails from any sender at approved domains.
  3. Content Filtering — Accept all emails but sanitize content before processing.
  4. Sandboxed Processing — Process in a restricted context with limited agent capabilities.
  5. Human-in-the-Loop — Queue all emails for human approval before agent processing.

How it works

1

Set up a verified domain

Your agent needs a verified domain with receiving enabled. See Domains.

2

Create a webhook endpoint

Your agent creates an HTTP endpoint to receive webhook events from Reloop.

3

Register the webhook

Subscribe to email.received events via the Reloop API or CLI.

4

Process inbound emails

When an email arrives, Reloop sends a webhook to your endpoint. Your agent verifies the signature, fetches the full email, and processes it.
