Let your AI assistant automatically read and respond to emails sent to a dedicated inbox.

Airtable

• Retrieves records from your Airtable bases and tables with filtering and sorting
• Creates new records in your tables with the fields you specify
• Updates existing records with new information or status changes
• Deletes records you no longer need
• Lists all your bases and shows table structures to help you navigate your data

AI Agent Email Inbox

• Creates a dedicated email address your AI agent monitors in real-time
• Validates incoming emails against allowlists so only trusted people can send instructions
• Processes email content and triggers AI-driven responses or actions automatically
• Handles webhook setup so your agent knows instantly when new mail arrives
• Blocks untrusted senders to prevent malicious instructions from reaching your AI
