Receive inbound emails as n8n workflow triggers — the Make.com Mailhook equivalent for n8n, powered by CloudMailin.

Features

• Trigger workflows when an email arrives (real-time, not polling)
• Manual setup mode — no API key needed, works for all accounts
• Auto-provision mode — auto creates/deletes CloudMailin addresses
• Clean simplified output: from, to, subject, bodyText, bodyHtml, attachments
• Smart filters: by sender, subject, require attachments
• Handles both embedded (base64) and URL-stored attachments
• SPF & TLS metadata included

Prerequisites

• n8n self-hosted or cloud instance
• CloudMailin account (free: 10,000 emails/month) — cloudmailin.com

Output Example

{
  "from": "[email protected]",
  "to": "[email protected]",
  "subject": "New Order #999",
  "bodyText": "Order details...",
  "bodyHtml": "<p>Order details...</p>",
  "attachments": [{ "fileName": "invoice.pdf", "size": 45678, "content": "..." }],

Auto-Provision Mode

Auto-Provision mode automatically creates a CloudMailin email address when the workflow is activated and deletes it when deactivated. This requires access to the CloudMailin Management API, which is not enabled by default. Contact CloudMailin support at https://www.cloudmailin.com/contact_us to request access.
