Email Parsing API

Transform inbound emails into structured JSON data and automate workflows with precision.

How Email Parsing Works

Convert messy email content into clean, actionable data with our parsing engine.

1

Email Received

Emails sent to your dedicated parsing address are securely received by our system.

2

Content Parsed

We extract text, HTML, headers, and metadata into structured JSON format.

3

Attachments Processed

Files are extracted, stored securely, and made available via API with MIME type detection.

4

Webhook Triggered

Structured data is immediately sent to your endpoint via HTTP POST request.

Precision Data Extraction

Our parsing engine handles even the most complex email formats with ease.

Text & HTML Content

Clean extraction of both plain text and HTML versions with preserved formatting when needed.

Header Analysis

Full access to all email headers including SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication results.

Attachment Handling

Support for all file types up to 25MB each, with automatic MIME type detection.
