Turn emails into agent-ready data
InboxParse is the email extraction layer for AI agents. It gives your LLMs an inbox they can actually understand through clean Markdown, extracted intent, and a predictable API.
Like Firecrawl, but for email.

Works with your AI stack
More than an email parser
Classic email parsers extract fields from individual messages. InboxParse gives your agents full conversation context, clear intent, and concrete next actions.
| Feature | Typical email parser | InboxParse |
|---|---|---|
| Single email parsing | Yes | Yes |
| Thread & conversation context | Rarely | First-class |
| Templates & manual rules | Often required | Minimal setup, AI-driven understanding |
| Summaries & intent | No | Built-in |
| Suggested next actions | No | Actions field |
| Agent-ready JSON | Basic fields only | Threads, metadata, summary, actions, labels |
Your agents don't need another JSON blob. They need to know what's going on and what should happen next.

Supported AI Platforms & Clients
Agent modes for your most important inboxes
Different inboxes need different agents. InboxParse comes with specialized modes that shape the output for support, sales, and operations use cases.
Support Agent Mode
Understands issue type, urgency, sentiment, and customer history in the thread. Returns summaries, suggested reply outlines, and actions like REPLY or ESCALATE_TO_HUMAN.
Sales Agent Mode
Extracts company and contact details, detects buying signals and blockers, assigns a lead score, and suggests next steps such as FOLLOW_UP or SCHEDULE_CALL.
Ops & Alerts Mode
Reads noisy alert emails, identifies critical incidents, groups duplicates by thread, and suggests actions like CREATE_INCIDENT or NOTIFY_ON_CALL.
AI helpdesk for your
support@ inbox
InboxParse turns incoming support emails into agent-ready data. By automatically resolving threads, extracting intent, and summarizing context, we offload the complex ingestion layer-so your AI agents can jump straight to handling triage, routing, and first-line replies.
Connect your support inbox
Support tickets are routed via IMAP, Gmail API, or mailbox forwarding. Your agents never waste tokens wrestling with raw MIME, quoted replies, or unstructured text.
Enrich to agent-ready context
Unlike traditional parsers, InboxParse natively understands conversation. Messages arrive with built-in AI:
Your AI takes instant action
Armed with structured data, your agent reliably drafts accurate replies, updates Jira/Linear, or escalates complex issues instantly.
Get started in 5 minutes
Connect an inbox, fetch parsed AI‑ready data, and plug InboxParse into your agents without writing complex parser templates or IMAP libraries.
Create workspace
Sign up for the free tier, generate your API key, and configure your first workspace in the dashboard.
Connect mailbox
Securely sync any support or sales inbox using our native IMAP or Google Workspace OAuth integrations.
Fetch parsed thread data
Use the InboxParse API to get a structured JSON thread with clean Markdown, summaries, labels, and suggested actions:
curl "https://inboxparse.com/api/v1/threads?format=markdown" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ip..."Connect your AI agent
Plug the extracted email context straight into LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, or use our native MCP server for clients like Claude Desktop.
Simple, predictable pricing
Start small, scale with your agents. No surprise bills when your inbox grows.
Scale
Enterprise
Additional email processing can be added when needed.
