Summary

Receive inbound email through a Webhook Relay email address and trigger the workflow for matching messages. On activation, the node ensures the named bucket, email input, and internal output exist, then subscribes to that output over an outbound WebSocket; deactivation closes the socket without deleting those resources.

Inputs

  • Bucket (required) — Webhook Relay bucket name; defaults to n8n-email. The bucket is created if it does not exist.
  • Email Address — A loadable address option. Opening or refreshing the dropdown ensures the email input exists and displays its address; activation also ensures the input exists. The selected value is not used by the trigger logic.
  • Allowed Senders — Comma-separated From addresses to accept. Values are trimmed and lowercased; an empty list accepts mail from any sender.
  • Drop Attachments — Whether Webhook Relay should skip parsing and storing attachments; defaults to false.

Output shape

A stream of workflow items, one per received webhook event.

Each item contains meta, headers, query, body, and method. A non-empty string body is parsed as JSON when possible and otherwise kept as a string; query parameters are decoded into an object. Requires Webhook Relay API credentials. The node creates or reuses an internal output targeting http://localhost and does not overwrite its existing settings.
