Make Your Apps Talk to Your Inbox: MailFlow API Turns Emails into Programmable Notifications for Developers
About
Tired of email alerts disappearing into the void? Monitoring scripts ping your inbox, OTPs get buried, and confirming actions means context-switching hell?
Most email tools are passive—one-way streets. But developers need control: push custom events, simulate incoming mails for testing, auto-reply from code.
That's where MailFlow comes in.
MailFlow is a real-time email bridge built for high-stakes messages: alerts, 2FA codes, order confirmations, support tickets. It forwards them in <5 seconds to Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp—or your webhook—while AI summarizes walls of text and extracts OTPs/codes automatically.
The killer feature for devs? Two simple API endpoints that make your inbox programmable.
1. POST /api/v1/notifications – Simulate Incoming Emails from Code
Want to test notification flows, push server alerts, or integrate custom events without SMTP gymnastics?
One POST simulates an incoming email. MailFlow treats it as real: AI processes it, extracts keys if configured, and pushes to your connected channels.
Common use case: Uptime monitor detects issue → curl /notifications → Telegram gets AI summary: “Critical: CPU 99% – investigate now”.
No fake SMTP servers needed—just code.
2. POST /api/v1/emails – Send Outbound from Your Workspace
Close the loop: send real emails from your MailFlow workspace address programmatically.
Alert pushed via /notifications → your script replies via /emails: auto-ack, escalate, attach logs.
Real wins:
- CI/CD fail → push alert → auto-email team with details
- Payment confirmation → send receipt + thank-you
- Security alert → acknowledge in chat → email report to compliance
