Inbound Parse Webhook

Inbound Webhook is a feature that allows processing of incoming emails for a domain or subdomain. The feature parses contents of an email and POSTs the information to a specified URL in a multipart/form-data format.

​

Steps to set up Inbound Webhook

1. Set up an MX Record:
   • Log in to your domain host’s website and navigate to the MX Records page.
   • Create a new MX record for the subdomain you want to process incoming email (e.g. reply.yourdomain.com).
   You must create a new record for this as this feature does not work if the MX record is already set on the domain. Here is an example with route 53

   • Assign the MX record a priority of 10 and point it to the specified inbound mail server that located on the admin dashboard on the Email Settings.
     For US, use inbound-mail.novu.co and For EU, use eu.inbound-mail.novu.co

2. Add Domain to allowed list:
   • Log in to the dashboard.
   • Go to the Setting tab in the left vertical navbar.
   • Navigate to Email Settings on the settings page.
   • Add your domain to the allowed domain box.
   You can only add one Inbound Webhook domain per organization.

3. Enable Inbound Parse and Set Webhook URL:
   • Log in to the dashboard.
   • Navigate to the Workflow Editor.
   • Select the email step.
   • Enable the Inbound Parse feature.
   • Set the Webhook URL to the location where you want the parsed data to be POSTed.
