The webhook is small on purpose.
Route the message from the event: sender, recipients, subject, receiving address, and attachment metadata. The full MIME body stays out of your handler until your workflow asks for it.

}API-shaped output.
NoticeAPI takes the message off the wire, parses it, stores it, and hands your app a clean event it can route.
- CaptureMX receives the message
Point a verified receiving subdomain at NoticeAPI and accept mail for any address on it.
- ParseMIME becomes structured data
Headers, text, HTML, envelope recipients, and attachment metadata are parsed and stored.
- Emitemail.received is signed
A small metadata-first event reaches your webhook as soon as the message lands.
- FetchYour app pulls what it needs
Bodies, headers, and raw attachment bytes stay one authenticated request away.
Pull the details only when the workflow needs them.
Use a scoped key to retrieve the stored message, list its attachments, or download one file. Every resource stays attributed to the project that owns the receiving domain.

Give every inbound workflow its own address space.
Add a dedicated subdomain such as reply.example.com, publish the ownership TXT and MX records, then verify DNS. Any address on that domain can become a route into your application.
- Domains are owned by one project
- Sending and receiving status stay independent
- Existing mailbox MX can remain untouched

Keep normal mail where it is.Use a dedicated subdomain so your existing mailbox MX records stay untouched.
Inbound email without an inbox somebody has to watch.
This is API-based receiving for software workflows. Use a mailbox provider when people need IMAP, POP3, webmail, or a shared inbox.
Reply handling
Route replies back to the record, conversation, or workflow that created the original message.
Ticket intake
Turn support@ or help@ into structured requests your application can triage.
Form responses
Receive a customer response without polling a mailbox or maintaining an SMTP server.
Document ingestion
Inspect attachment metadata, then download only the files your workflow intends to keep.
Turn the next reply into an app event.
Start with a verified receiving subdomain, connect one signed webhook, and fetch only what the workflow needs.
