Send and receive your first threaded email quickly

Prerequisites​

  • An API key from your dashboard after signup at getmail.bot
  • Your sandbox inbox address, visible in the dashboard after creating an inbox

Send your first email​

Pick the interface that fits your stack. All three options call the same underlying endpoint.

curl -X POST https://getmail.bot/v1/messages/send \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $MAILBOT_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"from": "$INBOX_ADDRESS",
"to": ["your@email.com"],
"subject": "Hello from mailbot!",
"body_text": "This is your first email sent through mailbot. Reply to this email and watch the thread appear in your dashboard."
}'

Receive a reply​

Reply to the email from your personal inbox. mailbot automatically threads the reply using Message-ID and In-Reply-To headers (RFC 5322). No parsing or manual matching required.

View the thread​

Open your dashboard. You will see both messages under one thread with engagement badges (Delivered, Opened, Received).

Next: Connect your webhook​

Now that you can send and receive threaded emails, connect a webhook to get real-time notifications when events happen. See the webhook guide for setup instructions and payload reference.
