Resend Unveils Inbound Email Feature with Comprehensive Dashboard Event Tracking

San Francisco, CA – Resend, the email API platform for developers, has launched its new Inbound email feature, significantly enhancing how developers can manage incoming email events. The announcement, made by Founder and CEO Zeno Rocha, introduces robust tools for tracking, filtering, and detailing inbound email traffic directly within the Resend dashboard. This new capability addresses a long-standing developer request, aiming to streamline workflows for customer support, attachment processing, and in-app email replies.

The core of the new feature allows users to monitor all inbound email events through a dedicated section in the Resend dashboard. According to the tweet from Zeno Rocha, "> You can see all inbound email events in the Emails page of the dashboard. Emails can be filtered by their to, from, and subject fields. Click on an email to see its full details, including the HTML, Plain Text, and any attachments." This provides developers with granular control and visibility over incoming communications, even if webhooks are not configured.

Technically, Resend's Inbound feature processes incoming emails, parses their content into JSON, stores any attachments, and then sends a JSON payload to a user-defined webhook endpoint. This enables diverse applications, such as automatically processing forwarded receipts and tickets, facilitating direct customer support interactions, and allowing users to reply to system-generated emails within an application. Resend ensures that emails are stored and accessible in the dashboard regardless of webhook status.

Resend, founded by Zeno Rocha, positions itself as a developer-first email API, focused on delivering emails reliably and providing an exceptional developer experience. The company joined Y Combinator's winter batch in 2023 and successfully raised $3 million in seed funding from notable investors including SV Angel and founders from companies like Figma and Vercel. This funding supports Resend's mission to modernize email infrastructure and simplify email development for a wide range of applications.
