Inbound API

"Every AI company eventually asks for email access. Most ask for everything. That's where deals die."

62%

of enterprise buyers reject broad email OAuth requests in security review

GDPR

Full inbox access is incompatible with data minimization requirements

3×

higher conversion when users see scoped permission requests

For developers

Build in minutes. Ship with confidence.

01

Define your scope

Tell Inbound exactly what emails your product needs. Set filters by sender domain, subject pattern, attachment type, or date range.

02

Drop in the consent flow

Embed our hosted OAuth component. Users see a plain-language permission screen showing exactly what you will and won't access.

03

Query via API

Make structured calls against your users' scoped email data. Get back normalized JSON — not raw MIME. Ready for your LLM.

Request
1"text-[#14B8A6]">const result = "text-[#14B8A6]">await inbound.emails.search({
2  user: session.userId,

Two models. One API.

Built for how AI products actually work.

Enterprise / B2B

Org-level access for AI products selling to companies

Your AI product needs email signal to serve business customers. Inbound lets the org grant scoped, auditable access — so your security review passes and your deal closes.

  • •AI bookkeeping and AP automation tools
  • •Legal tech and contract intelligence platforms
  • •AI CRM and sales intelligence products
  • •Compliance and risk monitoring agents
  • •Executive assistant AI tools
See enterprise docs →
Consumer / B2C

User-granted access for apps that personalize on email

Let individual users connect their inbox — and only share what's relevant. Higher conversion, lower liability, and a consent experience users actually trust.

  • •Ecommerce apps building purchase history personalization
  • •Personal finance tools parsing receipts and subscriptions
  • •Travel apps aggregating booking confirmations
  • •Loyalty and rewards platforms reading transaction emails
  • •Shopping assistants and price tracking tools

Security by design

We built this assuming you'd be audited.

Technically enforced, not just contractual

Scopes are enforced at the data layer — not in application code. It is architecturally impossible to query outside the defined scope.

Field-level encryption, per customer

Every customer's data is encrypted with their own key. Optionally bring your own key via AWS KMS or Azure Key Vault.

Query in real time, store nothing

For sensitive use cases, Inbound operates as a pure pipe. We process and return — no email content is persisted.

Every access, logged and exportable

Immutable, append-only logs of every query made against your users' data. Your customers can pull their own logs via API at any time.
