Email Inbox
The Email Inbox connector reads and searches email activity that already flows through the platform. Inbound mail arrives through the platform’s inbound email webhook and outbound mail goes out through the platform’s email rail; both are persisted to your tenant’s contact timeline, and this connector reads that timeline directly. There is no external mailbox polling — no IMAP, no Gmail or Microsoft 365 API — and no credentials to store.
There is nothing to set up. Email Inbox is listed under Settings →
Connectors with its + button disabled, and
POST /api/v1/connectors/email_inbox/connect returns 400 because the
connector uses the platform contact timeline rather than external
credentials. It does not occupy an integration slot and has no permission
policy row, because no connector instance is ever created for it.
To get email into the timeline, provision an email identity for an agent (see Resend). Replies to that address arrive through the inbound webhook and become part of the contact’s timeline, which the CRO and CFO already consult before every outbound touch through the Contact Timeline service.
