This command created inbox_mailbox.rb holding the InboxMailbox class (and inheriting from ApplicationMailbox) with one method - #process. which emails should be handled by which mailboxes.Īfter running migrations, let's generate the first mailbox: $ rails g mailbox inbox create app/mailboxes/inbox_mailbox.rb This is the general / top level mailbox class (think of it as of ApplicationRecord, ApplicationJob or ApplicationController) - all other mailboxes will inherit from it. It created two migrations and application_mailbox.rb holding the ApplicationMailbox < ActionMailbox::Base class. Let's start by installing ActionMailbox in the application:Ĭopying application_mailbox.rb to app/mailboxesĬreate app/mailboxes/application_mailbox.rbĬopied migration 20191117101825_create_active_storage_tables.active_storage.rb from active_storageĬopied migration 20191117101826_create_action_mailbox_tables.action_mailbox.rb from action_mailbox In, I'd love to be able to handle links or notes sent by users directly to the application. And this is on what I want to focus today. If it's using hosted services, then the email is first received by a hosted service and then forwarded to your app via webhook. The scenario is simple: your users send emails to a dedicated address and your web app handles it as user input. Those can be handled as incoming webhooks for services like Sendgrid, Mandrill, Mailgun or Postmark, or directly via built-in Exim, Posftix or Qmail integrations.

#Eximo project sp.z o.o install
Having that done, let's install the first new feature of the framework's new version, called Action Mailbox. To illustrate it, I was working on a real, existing web application, called, a knowledge base software I have been developing for a while now. In the previous article I led you through the entire process of updating your apps from Rails 5.2 to Rails 6.0.
