Mail2Webhook - process your incoming emails as HTTP form POSTs

Step 1. Create your controller file app/controllers/incoming_emails_controller.rb and paste the following code inside

require 'mail'

class IncomingEmailsController < ActionController::Base
  def create
    mail = Mail.new(params[:message])
    # TODO: use 'mail' object
    # see API for https://github.com/mikel/mail
    render text: "OK"
  end
end

Step 2. Add the following line of code into your config/routes.rb

post 'incoming_emails' => 'incoming_emails#create'

Step 3. Configure url in your mail2webhook account to point to your server, e.g. http://your.app.com/incoming_emails

You can test sending to your app on your laptop with the following curl command

curl -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:3000/incoming_emails' -d message='From: sender@example.com
To: you@example.com
Subject: Hello
How are you?
'

Step 1. Install the mailparser npm package

$ npm install mailparser

Step 2. And execute the following Node.js script

var querystring = require('querystring');
var MailParser = require("mailparser").MailParser;

var server = require('http').createServer();
server.addListener('request', function(req, res) {
  var chunks = [];
  req.on('data', chunks.push.bind(chunks));
  req.on('end', function() {
    var mailparser = new MailParser();
    mailparser.on("end", function(mail_object) {
      // TODO: use 'mail_object'
      // see API for https://github.com/andris9/mailparser
      res.writeHead(200, {'content-type': 'text/plain'});
      res.end();
    });
    var params = querystring.parse(chunks.join("").toString());
    mailparser.write(params['message']);
    mailparser.end();
  });
});
var port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
console.log(' [*] Listening on 0.0.0.0:' + port);
server.listen(port, '0.0.0.0');

Step 3. Configure url in your mail2webhook account to point to your server, e.g. http://your.app.com:3000/

You can test sending to your app on your laptop with the following curl command

curl -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:3000/incoming_emails' -d message='From: sender@example.com
To: you@example.com
Subject: Hello
How are you?
'

Step 1. Create a app.py python script

import email
from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

# uncomment for helpful stacktrace:
#
# class DebugConfig(object):
#     DEBUG = True
#     TRAP_HTTP_EXCEPTIONS = True
# app.config.from_object(DebugConfig)

@app.route('/incoming_emails', methods = ['POST'])
def incoming_emails():
    m = email.message_from_string(request.form['message'])
    # checkout the email module https://docs.python.org/2/library/email.html
    # e.g.
    # print m['Subject']
    return "OK"

Step 2. And execute the following command

$ gunicorn app:app

Refer to Flash documentation for more information.

You can test sending to your app on your laptop with the following curl command

curl -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/incoming_emails' -d message='From: sender@example.com
To: you@example.com
Subject: Hello
