Introduction
Give AI agents temporary email inboxes for receiving verification emails
What is AgentInbox?
AgentInbox is an API platform for giving AI agents temporary email inboxes to receive verification emails. Unlike traditional email providers designed for humans, AgentInbox is built API-first for automated workflows.
Email agents can:
- Receive OTP codes for two-factor authentication
- Capture magic links for account verification
- Extract password reset links
- Parse invoice numbers and tracking codes
- Continue automated workflows without human intervention

Wait for Email
Use the wait API to block until the expected email arrives, or poll for messages.
Extract Data
Automatically extract OTPs, magic links, or other structured data from the email.
Continue Workflow
