Introduction

This documentation explains how to handle webhooks generated by MailCare automations, including the request headers and body structure you will receive in your application. MailCare allows you to create automations via the web interface or API, enabling the generation of webhooks on your application for each received email that matches the defined rules in the automations. For instance, if you want to receive a webhook on your application every time an email with an attachment arrives on MailCare, you need to:
  • Begin by creating an automation via API or Web with the title catch email with attachment and check the box Trigger on Attachment, then enter the Webhook URL to Call, which is the URL of your application.
  • Next, in your application, you just need to handle this incoming request, which will be a POST on the URL defined above.

Request Headers

Here is the list of request headers you could receive: 
Accept: application/vnd.mailcare.v1+json
X-MailCare-Title: Save pdf invoices
X-MailCare-Subject: HIT
X-MailCare-Sender: HIT
X-MailCare-Inbox: HIT
X-MailCare-Has-Attachments: HIT
X-MailCare-Secret-Token: SECRET12345$
The X-MailCare-* headers provide information about why you are receiving this request, which automation generated this webhook, and what match was made.
