It's been a while!

So I'll admit it, last time I shared my progress I was with Antler working on Rate My Meeting. And while that's still running... It has proven **ahum** challenging to change people's willingness to approach meetings differently.

BUT... For Rate My Meeting I processed calendar invites programmatically. Using AWS SES, off to a S3 bucket, triggering a Lambda function, sending off a payload to my server. Three AWS services to do 1 thing: parse an ICS attachment. And alternatives were not much different. Or limited in features, as to them, inbound is clearly an afterthought besides their existing transactional e-mail service.

And so I built it.

A dedicated service for inbound e-mail processing. With proper security features (HMAC signing, custom headers), advanced attachment options that include offloading them to an S3 bucket, processing them inline and add rules to block by file type. Proper logs, an option to simply Replay an e-mail (instead of sending an e-mail each time while testing, painful!), parse to Markdown and more.

So I'm using it. Actively. I attach it to support mailboxes (that then point to n8n), incoming DMARC reports and obviously Rate My Meeting's 'virtual attendee'. Others are using it too. For financial document processing, forwarding their Gmail for programmatic processing and building their platform on top of mine (travel iternaries, AI-automation).

It's good fun!

Curious to hear what any of you might think. Shoot me a message, any time. Better not to support@emailconnect.eu, you'll end up with my n8n powered agent feeding of the Notion KB :).
