E-mail is an important and integrated part of many systems. restdb.io has had decent support for automating outbound e-mail for a while now (more details in the restdb.io docs).

One of the new features, inbound email, opens up new possibilities for automation involving e-mail. All databases now get their own e-mail address and incoming e-mails are now stored in a collection for further processing.

In this short article, we will show you how to enable the feature together with an example of how to set up a codehook (trigger function) when the e-mail is received. We will also demonstrate how to use the new console debug output to see what's going on inside the codehook.
