Summary

Resend has introduced a feature called Inbound that enables users to receive emails, expanding the platform's capabilities beyond just sending emails. This feature supports various use cases such as replying to in-app emails, processing forwarded attachments, and receiving support emails. Users can choose to use a default inbound domain or set up a custom domain to receive emails, which Resend processes by converting the email content into JSON, storing attachments, and sending a JSON payload to a designated endpoint. To get started, users need to establish an email address and configure a webhook within their application to receive email events. The Inbound feature also allows users to view all received emails, filter them based on several fields, and process attachments by using the Attachments API, which provides metadata and download links for the attachments. Resend aims to facilitate innovative applications through these new capabilities, encouraging users to explore the Inbound API documentation for further implementation.
