Receive Email
Receiving email is technically done using webhook calls which you receive from Amio server whenever someone sends you a message.
For the purpose of this tutorial, we will use Ngrok to route incoming webhook calls to your local machine.
- Download and install Ngrok.
- (Optional) Create a server app with opened URL for Amio webhooks, i.e.
http://localhost:<YOUR_APP_PORT>/webhook/amio
and start it. - Start Ngrok for routing to your local server with the command
./ngrok http <YOUR_APP_PORT>
.


- Copy the forward url from Ngrok (
https://c25d851e.ngrok.io
in our case) and set this URL in Amio app in an email channel on the Webhook tab. - Go to your email client and send an email to a domain connect previously, e.g. in our case
[email protected]
. - Observe your local server has received an HTTP POST request.
- You can see all incoming requests in Ngrok web interface as well
http://127.0.0.1:4040
