Emails + files
One intake path
Process message bodies, headers, PDFs, images, CSV files, spreadsheets, and other attachments.
Turn inbound emails and attachments into structured data
MailSlurp combines programmable inboxes, attachment handling, AI prompts, OCR, JSON schemas, and webhooks so teams can convert real emails into clean records for spreadsheets, databases, queues, and internal tools.
JSON schemas
Consistent output
Define the fields your workflow expects so extracted data stays predictable downstream.
Webhooks
Immediate handoff
Send extracted records to your app, queue, CRM, spreadsheet, or database when messages arrive.
Programmable inboxes
Controlled inputs
Provision inboxes per customer, vendor, form, workflow, or environment without mailbox sprawl.
Core capabilities
AI email parser capabilities teams can act on
Parse inbound emails and attachments with AI prompts
Extract fields from real email bodies and attached documents using prompts, OCR, and structured extraction workflows.
- AI parser
- OCR
- Attachments
Return clean JSON, CSV, and spreadsheet-ready records
Normalize extracted data into formats that finance, operations, support, and data teams can use immediately.
- JSON
- CSV
- XLSX
Connect extraction to webhooks and automation pipelines
Trigger downstream workflows when a matching email arrives, a file is parsed, or a record needs manual review.
- Webhooks
- Routing
- Review queues
Build on real inboxes instead of forwarded mailbox chains
Create controlled addresses for each intake flow and keep message history, attachments, and extraction results tied together.
- Inboxes
- History
- APIs

Day 1
Create one intake inbox and define the target fields
Start with one email type and decide which fields your downstream system needs.
- Provision a dedicated inbox
- Send representative emails and attachments
- Define the JSON fields for extraction
Week 1
Connect extraction results to a workflow
Route parsed records to a spreadsheet, webhook endpoint, queue, or review process.
- Validate records against the expected schema
- Send results to the target system
- Capture exceptions for manual review
Week 2+
Scale across inboxes, vendors, and document types
Add more intake addresses and extraction schemas once the first workflow is reliable.
- Create inboxes per vendor or workflow
- Add schema variants for new message types
- Monitor extraction quality and routing outcomes
Customer use cases
Where MailSlurp helps
Finance and operations owners
Challenge: Important data arrives in unstructured emails and attachments that require manual handling.
What improves: Turn each inbound message into structured records that can move through repeatable workflows.
Platform engineers
Challenge: Mailbox polling, MIME parsing, attachment handling, and retries become custom infrastructure.
What improves: Use managed inboxes, parsers, and webhooks instead of maintaining a one-off mail processing stack.
Automation teams
Challenge: Forwarding rules and shared inboxes make ownership, replay, and exception handling difficult.
What improves: Give every intake workflow its own address, schema, event trail, and downstream handoff.
Better email releases
What gets easier before send time
Cleaner downstream data
Schemas and structured outputs reduce the ambiguity that makes email-driven workflows hard to automate.
Less mailbox plumbing
MailSlurp provides the inbox, parsing, attachment, webhook, and API primitives in one workflow.
Faster exception handling
Keep source messages and attachments connected to extracted records so failed parses are easier to review.
Room to expand
Start with one email type, then add more inboxes, schemas, and routing rules as the workflow proves value.

FAQ
Common questions before starting
Can MailSlurp parse both email body content and attachments?
Yes. MailSlurp can process email body content, headers, and attachments so extraction workflows can work with the full message payload.
Can extracted data be sent to a spreadsheet?
Yes. Teams can route structured records to spreadsheets, webhook endpoints, queues, databases, and internal applications.
Do we need to connect an existing mailbox?
No. You can create programmable inboxes for each workflow, or use connected accounts where that fits the process.
What should we automate first?
Start with a repeatable email type such as invoices, receipts, order updates, or support attachments where the target fields are clear.
